Written/directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, Phantom Thread, starring Daniel Day-Lewis and  Lesley Manville, is a drama set in the fashion world of 1950s London. Day-Lewis plays a dressmaker commissioned to design for members of high society and the royal family.

I’d given up on the possibility of a new Daniel Day-Lewis film. Especially since he announced his retirement from acting earlier this summer.

Clearly, he must have shot this movie before then, because he doesn’t seem like the kind of man to announce something like retirement and not absolutely mean it.  I could, of course, be completely wrong.

As for this trailer, I like the way it builds into something I didn’t expect, and I can’t wait to savour Day-Lewis’s apparently final performance.

Phantom Thread Release Dates: December 25th, 2017 (US); February 2nd, 2018 (UK)…

Happy Film Loving,
