Event Details
Daniel Day-Lewis reunited with his There Will Be Blood director Paul Thomas Anderson for this offbeat romantic drama set in 1950s England. Day-Lewis plays Reynolds Woodcock, a brilliant clothing designer, who falls for a young waitress (Vicky Krieps) only to find their relationship moving in unexpected directions. Mark Bridges won the Oscar for his elegant costume designs, and the film’s six nominations included Best Picture, Directing, and the performances of Day-Lewis and Lesley Manville as Woodcock’s strong-willed sister. Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, a regular Anderson collaborator, received his first Oscar nomination for the score. Inspired by the kinds of artists Day-Lewis’s character would listen to, such as Nelson Riddle and especially Glenn Gould, Greenwood composed a score dominated by piano and what Anderson called... “big-ass strings.”
