Phantom Thread brings together master director Paul Thomas Anderson and Daniel Day-Lewis together for the second time and tells the story of Reynolds Woodcock, the prominent fashion designer from the 1950s, and his extraordinary love affair with Alma who he meets on a journey. A highly talented and meticulous designer who dresses the socialites of London as well as other European cities, Woodcock is also a very strict and ill tempered man. The orderly and systematic life of this fashion genius takes a noticeable turn after he invites Alma to his home and as this muse gets a foothold in the house. Phantom Thread is a production that stays with the viewer for a long time with its poetic, surprising and nuanced narrative, striking visual language and music.
