LOVE IS A THREE-LETTER WORD: THE FILMS OF PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON
To coincide with the release of Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film One Battle After Another, we’re presenting a retrospective of his unforgettable body of work, titled Love Is A Three Letter Word—a playful nod to the familiar abbreviation of his name, PTA. From the restrained debut Hard Eight to the lush spectacle of Licorice Pizza, explore the obsessions, love, and complexity that define his cinema.
Paul Thomas Anderson is one of contemporary America’s most influential directors, renowned for his immersive storytelling and intense character studies. His films blend meticulous cinematography, striking musical choices, and subtle psychological depth to explore complex themes of power, obsession, family, and love. From the intimate crime drama of Hard Eight to the epic intensity of There Will Be Blood and the playful nostalgia of Licorice Pizza, Anderson’s oeuvre is both a celebration of cinema and a profound meditation on human desire and relationships.
Please note that due to the materials available, we are sadly not able to screen either Boogie Nights or Magnolia.
