About Phantom Thread in brief
Phantom Thread is a 2017 American historical drama film written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. It stars Daniel Day-Lewis as an haute couture dressmaker who takes a young waitress, played by Vicky Krieps, as his muse. The film is the first Anderson film shot outside the United States, with principal photography beginning in January 2017 in Lythe, England. Phantom Thread premiered in New York City on December 11, 2017, and was theatrically released in the U.S. on December 25, 2017. It received acclaim for its acting, screenplay, direction, musical score, costume design, and production values. It was chosen by the National Board of Review as one of the top ten films of 2017. At the 90th Academy Awards, the film was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Day- Lewis, Supporting Actress for Lesley Manville and Best Original Score, and won for Best Costume Design.
It also earned four nominations at the 71st British Academy Film Awards, winning for Best costume Design, and received two Golden Globe nominations. It is Anderson’s second collaboration with Day-Lewes, following There Will Be Blood, and his fourth with composer Jonny Greenwood. Anderson became interested in the fashion industry after reading about designer Cristóbal Balenciaga. Reynolds Woodcock’s obsessive fastidiousness is loosely inspired by English-American fashion designer Charles James. Reynolds is haunted by the death of their mother, and often stitches hidden messages into the linings of the dresses he makes. After designing a new gown for a revered client, Countess Henrietta Harding, Reynolds visits a restaurant in the countryside and meets a foreign waitress, Alma Elson, who becomes his model, muse, and lover.
