Sala Montjuïc 2018: Phantom Thread

Paul Thomas Anderson, U.S., 2017. Original version English, Spanish subtitles.

'Phantom Thread' is a formal masterpiece, a Gothic thriller that tells a turbulent love story. Reynolds Woodcock is not just any old dressmaker: he is the most sought-after designer in 50s London. Reynolds and his sister will dress any smart woman who can afford their services. One day, the couturier meets Alma, who becomes his muse and lover. Little by little, Alma discovers that beneath the dressmaker’s apparently pompous character is a broken man.

Blues Band, Mr. Shingles will be performing before the film (8.45pm)
