There Will Be Blood (2007)
Country: US
Technical: DeLuxe/Panavision 158m
Director: Paul Thomas Anderson
Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Dano, Kevin J. O'Connor, Ciarán Hinds
Synopsis:
California, 1898-1927. A self-made oil man acquires a new field thanks to a disaffected farmer's son, and builds a pipeline to the sea to bypass transport costs. He bests his competitors but commits murder and is estranged from his adopted son.
Review:
Along with Lawrence of Arabia one of the most absorbing portrayals of a man ever committed to a film of an epic scale, a towering acting achievement that haunts for a long time after the images have faded from the screen, and from which one's eyes never stray until then. Anderson delivers another of his studies of father-son relationships (two, at least), and makes the definitive oil prospecting film almost as an add-on.
