For the first time since There Will Be Blood in 2007, Paul Thomas Anderson releases only his sixth feature to date. Following critical reception of his past films and being a director of quality over quantity, Anderson's latest film The Master was going to become an immediate lookout for Oscars. However, this is a very different project compared to his past works as it is a film for the audience t... read more

I saw The Master with my best friend, and we’re both huge fans of Paul Thomas Anderson. It seemed like the perfect combination of events. I was with the right person to discuss the film with afterward, and we were both familiar with the director’s prior work so we knew what to expect. Except, we really didn’t, because after the film ended we just looked at each other trying to figure out wha... read more

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back, I was quite eager to check it out again. Ever since I saw 'Boogie Nights', I have been faithfully following Paul Thomas Anderson's work. This time again, we had to wait 5 long years to see his new directing effort so my expectations were sky high and it was one of my top priorities back in 2012. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectat... read more

"10.7. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. En koe toisellakaan kerralla olevani ihan täysin vakuuttunut, mistä kaikesta on oikeastaan kyse ja se ei välttämättä ole elokuvalle haitaksi, mutta pelkästään sen ainutlaatuinen tunnelma, joka pitää pitkään päätyttyään tekee helpoksi kutsua Mestaria tällä kierroksella mestariteokseksi. Sodan traumoja, tuskallista menetetyn rakkauden kaipuuta, ongelmallista ystävyyttä, mahdollisesti piileviä homoseksuaalisia tuntemuksia ja niiden kanssa painim"

"FORMAT: 70mm CONDITION: ★★★★½ NOTES: The age of the print meant that vertical scratches in the middle would get in the way throughout most of the runtime, but this print still looks unreal, like the detail is so lifelike you would feel like touching it. Also noticed the opening test card peek out at the bottom right of the cover, and the projector was positioned in a way that I could easily notice the top-right rounded corner of the print and some white lines indicating edits.
