There Will Be Blood (2007)
Movie
Released
158 minutes, theatrical cut. Daniel Plainview's ambitions become an entire social world of labour, bargaining, performance and damaged attachment. Paul Thomas Anderson allows transactions and stretches of physical work to establish how power operates before the largest confrontations arrive. Daniel Day-Lewis supplies enormous force, but the time spent watching what he can build makes the emotional impoverishment more disturbing than a simple portrait of greed.
