Joaquin Phoenix in 'The Master' by Paul Thomas Anderson.
This Friday, 'The Master', the long-awaited film, which supposes ehe return to the big screen of actor Joaquin Phoenix after his voluntary retirement. Phoenix is joined by Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, Laura Dern, Jesse Plemons, Rami Malek, Ambyr Childers, Kevin J. O'Connor and Christopher Evan Welch.
"The master" chronicles the vicissitudes of a Navy veteran, Freddie (Joaquin Phoenix), who returns unstable and unsure of his future until he is drawn to the Cause and its charismatic leader, Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman). 'The Master', directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, who also helmed the script, is postulated as one of the essential films for this 2013, giving us an arid portrait of post-war America from the hallucinated prism of a spontaneous and a forced messiah, condemned to meet and perhaps to understand each other.
Paul Thomas AndersonSydney (1996) Magnolia (1999) o Wells of Ambition (2007)), shows us again that the important thing is not the story, but the mastery and technical domain with which it has it. All this, aided by an impossible soundtrack that gives it a fascinating air, immersing ourselves fully in a stark portrait of post-war America in which two messiahs, one spontaneous (the student) and the other forced (the teacher), converge to fight a moral battle.
'The Master' will be cynical, sour, twisted ... and among all, you will find a Joaquin Phoenix who rises from his own ashes with a magnificent performance, in front of a Philip Seymour Hoffman, who as always signs another very correct interpretation. Without a doubt one of the best proposals for this year. Do not let it pass.
