Celebrate the release of the latest much-anticipated opus by Paul Thomas Anderson, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, by revisiting two of the touchstone works that established him as one of contemporary American cinema’s most revered auteurs. With a virtuoso ensemble cast that includes Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Julianne Moore, MAGNOLIA is a sprawling mosaic of human pain, catharsis, and connection that found the director pushing toward heights of dazzling, operatic ambition. Its follow-up, the sublimely poignant, unconventional romantic comedy PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE, revealed a lighter but no less profound side of his artistry, while giving Adam Sandler one of his finest roles to date.
