Phantom Thread (35mm)
classified 15“This is the kind of thing you dream of as a filmmaker – the continued showing of your work in its native format in places that love and cherish films. Pinch me. No, don’t.”
– Paul Thomas Anderson.
What better way to end 2026 than to experience Paul Thomas Anderson's romantic tangle of desire, control and couture on 35mm?
Daniel Day-Lewis gives an impeccable performance as a punishingly obsessive and unwaveringly perfectionist 1950’s couturier this perverse psychological fable of unchecked ego and unhinged passion.
Set in the glamour of 1950’s post-war London, renowned dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock (Day-Lewis) and his sister Cyril (Lesley Manville) are at the centre of British fashion, dressing royalty, movie stars, heiresses, socialites, debutantes and dames with the distinct style of The House of Woodcock.
Women come and go through Woodcock’s life, providing the confirmed bachelor with inspiration and companionship, until he comes across a young, strong-willed woman, Alma (Vicky Krieps), who soon becomes a fixture in his life as his muse and lover.
