Description
Magnolia-An Original Vintage Movie Poster of PT Anderson's Existential Mosaic of love & forgiveness with Julianne Moore, Tom Cruise, & Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I once read this movie was an autopsy of the human condition & I fully agree. Director Paul Thomas Anderson paints a symphonic mosaic of interlocking characters & emotions. This canvas is large & the film moves from epic sweeping tracking shots to the emotionally intimate with ease. The cast, performances, & stories pop in & out of view as life boils up some monumental weather, & the San Fernando valley storm front begins to rival the human hysteria within its zip code. "Magnolia" is an experiential film that requires its unusual runtime. We begin with the hard, loud, & painful emotions & finally move towards kindness & understanding. Such a film doesn't come around often & each of these complex characters requires a lot from the actors & every cast member rises to the occasion. Filmed with precision & a palette of oil colors, Cinematographer Robert Elswit embodies Anderson's vision in fluid strokes. Then there's the music...Rarely has a composer's score matched up in such a synergistic way with the songs of another artist but Jon Brion & Aimee Mann's moods & melodies completely align. "Magnolia" finds beauty in the dark whims of human interaction & solves our ills with a living redemption in the form of friendship & forgiveness.
