Special a 35mm presentation Classic Paul Thomas Anderson

There Will Be Blood (2007)

Hoezo in KINO

“I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed…” Few features had us stumbling out of the cinema suppressing the urge to immediately double back and confirm what we’ve just witnessed was indeed one of the true masterpieces of modern cinema. We can now safely state that was certainly the case. It’s PTA’s courageous writing and directing, Robert Elswit’s baffling cinematography, Jonny Greenwood’s haunting score and Jack Fisk’s sensational woodwork on the production design that set the stage for the greatest embodiment of a character that defines our age of bloodthirsty greed. Daniel Day-Lewis creates Daniel Plainview from his staunch stride to the gravelly, at times guttural vocals in a way that is repugnant yet utterly magnetic and endlessly (re)watchable. An unbeatable acting feat in a monumental piece of filmmaking we proudly present in 35mm. English language without subtitles.

Storyline

Ruthless silver miner, turned oil prospector, Daniel Plainview, moves to oil-rich California.

However, local preacher Eli Sunday suspects Plainview’s motives and intentions, starting a slow-burning feud that threatens both their lives.
