New Clip From PTA’s ‘The Master’!

It’s east to forget just how brilliant a filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson is. As sublime as BOOGIE NIGHTS, MAGNOLIA and THERE WILL BE BLOOD are, they are so few and far between he drops off the cultural radar from time to time. However, this does mean that as soon as a new project comes on the horizon, anticipation levels soar. And his latest, THE MASTER, is no exception.

The film follows Freddie (Joaquin Phoenix), a drifter who becomes the right-hand man to intellectual faith leader Lancaster Dodd (Phillip Seymour Hoffman). But when Dodd’s organisation acquires a dubious and feverish following, Freddie come to question his choices, and indeed his ‘master’.

It all sounds like cerebral and intensely emotional stuff. And PTA has accrued a fine cast to star alongside Phoenix and Hoffman – including Amy Adams and Laura Dern – signifying heavy drama ahoy.

THE MASTER is set to screen at the Toronto and Venice film festivals before its US release in September. It’s due for UK release 9th November.
