For those film geeks out there who like picking apart shot construction etc,
here's an excellent analysis of how Paul Thomas Anderson's camerawork, in particular his use of the
Steadicam, has evolved over his first five films:
Hard Eight,
Boogie Nights,
Magnolia,
Punch-Drunk Love and
There Will Be Blood. We see a masterful director very much in command of film language, but one who's gradually refined and toned down his showy style for a subtler approach without losing its impact nor ambitiousness. Anderson's highly anticipated
The Master will be released in NZ on 17th January from Roadshow (no 70mm screenings doh!).
