 Paul Thomas Anderson's latest
film for New Line is in the vein of Robert
Altman's Short
Cuts as it tells multiple interlocking stories about parents,
children, love and loneliness set against a phenomenon known
as a "frog storm" in the San
Fernando Valley. The film concerns several interdependent
storylines about troubled relationships.
From Amazon.com:
The only companion book to the much-anticipated follow-up to
Paul Thomas Anderson's critically hailed Boogie Nights that "leaves
you no doubt you are in the presence of a natural-born filmmaker."--David
Ansen, Newsweek. The much-heralded writer-director deliberately
withheld information about his new film during production because
"I feel lately as if I know everything about a movie before
I see it, and I really want the audience to discover this purely."
Featuring an ensemble cast and in an unbilled role, Tom
Cruise (who called Anderson to express interest in working
with him), the film is now described as "a story about family
relationships and bonds that have been broken and need to be
mended in one day...set in the San Fernando Valley on a day full
of rain with no clouds."
