Finally, the new film by Paul Thomas Anderson, "The Master," enters cinemas. A magnificent picture, it really is. Set in the 1950s, in various places in America, it tells a story of a powerful persona, a charismatic mentor, husband, and leader. Philip Seymour Hoffman beautifully portrayes Lancaster Dodd, again proves how great an actor he is. To me however Joaquin Phoenix as Freddie is even better. His back hunched, drinking all the time, mumbling, not knowing what to do with his life. Phoenix as Freddie becomes prey for someone like Dodd, who desperately needs followers and believers. Beautiful setting, magical music by Johnny Greenwood (Radiohead), cinematography, atmosphere. A real treat, not just for connoiseurs, of P.T.A's fans.
My review in Polish published here.
