This book is the first full treatment of the life and cinema of
American film director Paul Thomas Anderson. Beginning with his
entry into filmmaking, this work spans each of his first four
feature films - Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Magnolia and Punch-Drunk
Love - and follows his rise to the pinnacle of the indie circuit.
As a major filmmaker in the studio independent filmmaking scene of
the 1990s, Anderson has proven himself to be an exceptional
storyteller and technician in the art of cinema. This work examines
the continuity and similarities that exist in each of Anderson's
films - his themes, his vision of life and his depiction of the
self. It focuses primarily on how the filmmaker uses structural
elements - e.g. cinematography, music, lighting, dialogue and tone
- as methods of communicating his vision. A must-have for anyone
interested in his work, and a great read for those who like
independent cinema!
