The Most Demanding: Paul Thomas Anderson's Phantom Thread

Film Critic Adam Nayman joins me for a deep dive on Paul Thomas Anderson's Phantom Thread. We discuss the Oscar-nominated film, its interpretations, its relationships to Anderson's canon and those of other filmmakers (particularly influences like Hitchcock and Kubrick), and how it may be received along gender lines. This is an exhaustive, spoiler-heavy look at our favourite film of 2017.
