Paul Thomas Anderson’s sixth feature film, THE MASTER, unfolds a vibrantly human story inside this atmosphere of spiritual yearning on the cusp of 1950. The film follows the shifting fortunes of Freddie, portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, a volatile former Naval officer unable to settle down into everyday life, and the unpredictable journey he takes when he stumbles upon a fledgling movement known as The Cause. Coming to The Cause as an itinerant and outsider, Freddie will ultimately become a surrogate heir to its flamboyant leader: Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Lancaster Dodd. And yet, even as The Cause probes the mastery of human emotions, the camaraderie between Freddie and Dodd will mount into a fierce and intimate struggle of wills.
The first feature film shot using 65mm film stock in several decades, THE MASTER is brought to life by a devoted cast and crew who have crafted a visually alluring and emotionally provocative portrait of three people pursuing a vision of betterment.
Now Showing at3 Golden Globe nominations including Best Actor; Best Supporting Actress & Best Supporting Actor.
“Fierce and ferociously funny, The Master is a great movie, the best of the year so far, and a new American classic.”
– Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE.
“We should bow to The Master, because it gives us so much to revere, starting with the image that opens the film and recurs right up to the end.”
– Anthony Lane, NEW YORKER.
“In terms of Oscar promise, The Master is the one to watch for this year, with two unparalleled performances from Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix.”
– Kate Muir, TIMES [UK]
“A sustained immersion in a series of hypnotic moods and longueurs, an imposing picture that thrillingly and sometimes maddeningly refuses to conform to expectations.”
– Justin Change, VARIETY
“It’s an arresting and utterly absorbing psychological drama of marginal lives… It is a movie that may alienate and exasperate some, but its audacity, its formal daring and Joaquin Phoenix's performance, make it simply unmissable.”
– Peter Bradshaw, GUARDIAN [UK]
