The picture was shot by the master of the slow narrative Paul Thomas Anderson, who acted in this work as a screenwriter and as a director. Anderson admirers will immediately recognize his handwriting in the picture: this is the complexity of the revealed topic, and a thorough psychoanalysis of the characters, and the filigree personnel production. And if lovers of uncomplicated comedies can scare away such an approach to the author, then for aesthetes he will become a revelation.
Fashionable sets that fall into the frame are especially notable in the “ghostly filament”. No wonder the film received many film awards in the nomination “Best Costume Design”.
