Phantom Thread
Phantom Thread"
stars Daniel Day-Lewis and Vicky Krieps in this mysery/romance set in
London in the 1950's as it delves deeply into the art of dressmaking and
those who master the craft. Written and directed by Paul Thomas
Anderson, the film, although shown in the super medium of 70mm and
color, was, in my memory, an average black and white film. The plot is
rather thin and the movie is much too long. When something is dull, even
10 minutes can seem like a lifetime so 2 hours and 20 minutes really
accentuates the discomfort. Notwithstanding absolutely rave reviews from
the professionals, I found this film to be an effort to watch and
endure even with outstanding performances by Mr. Day-Held and Ms.
Krieps. I give the film 2 and 1/2 stars with the "phantom" in the title
representing the mysterious movie that was apparently seen by the
critics but not by me.
