Phantom Thread (2017)

The best drama ever made about the discipline of dressmaking. Daniel Day-Lewis plays a 1950s London couturier whose house runs on silence, ritual and fittings that go on until the line is right, and the film treats a hem or a sleeve as seriously as any plot turn. The costumes won the Oscar, which is fitting for a film where the clothes are the drama. It is a strange, sly love story too, so come for the craft and stay for the power games.
