P. T. Anderson does it again with his amazing character study, the master. He dissects the intense and often dangerous interdependent relationship between two severely unhinged men, and comes out with a conclusion that's unresolved and unsettling. Joaquin pheonix gives the performance of his career as drifter freddie quell. Paired with fantastic camerawork shot on 65mm film the grand nature isn't in the shots themselves but in the way the characters see themselves. Added in with a fantastic discord of a score and the film becomes an uncomfortable and chilling throughout.
