Magnolia
Paul Thomas Anderson, USA, 1999o
24 hours in L.A. Nine people. Nine destinies. They are all interwoven like a spider's web. And an enormous storm of emotions breaks over them. Like Frank T.J. Mackay: Is it a coincidence that the charismatic sex preacher sees his father again today, after so many years? His hated childhood comes up again, and yet just like his father, successful TV producer Earl Partridge, he became a star in the media frenzy. And what about the beautiful, sophisticated Linda, Earl's wife? She owns everything money can buy, but is boundlessly lonely. Only then, when Earl is dying, does she find out what love means.
Ce qui force l'admiration dans ce long et brillant travail de plus de trois heures, c'est la virtuosité de la mise en scène, la recherche thématique, qui permet à Anderson de tisser plusieurs toiles solides
