writ. and dir. Paul Thomas Anderson
feat. Adam Sandler, Emily Watson, Luis Guzman, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Mary Lynn Rajskub
Barry Egan (Sandler) battles his unnamed phobias and conditions (agoraphobia, mild autism,) squirming through social situations and lashing out when overwhelmed. But there is a cure for Barry in concentrated focus. When he has a mission, he is clear headed and unstoppable. And what better mission than the pursuit of true love.
Punch-Drunk Love plays like a tense epic song, winding increasingly and painfully tight before exploding in release, the knotted stomach unclenching, blood rushing warm.
