The Master

Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson

The Master, Paul Thomas Anderson’s first film since the stunning There Will Be Blood, boasts virtuoso performances from leads Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Freddie Sutton is a troubled navy veteran, drifting through his turbulent life in post-WWII America. Lancaster Dodd is a volatile and charismatic intellectual who founds his own influential religious cult. When the two men meet, they forge an intense, if unequal, bond. With a haunting and beautiful soundtrack from Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, The Master is a striking and powerful film which promises to be one of the most talked about releases this Autumn.
