There are plenty of reasons why the most recent project of the filmmaker Paul Thomas Andersonthe crime and action thriller One Battle After Anotheris considered the favorite of the year by many.
The film, released by Warner Bros. in cinemas at the end of September, is A truly extraordinary cinematographic workcreated by PTA with a distinctive style and a phenomenal rhythm. So wonderful that, with a duration of 2 hours and 41 minutes, you are not aware of the time that passed.
There is no doubt: we are facing a safe and firm Oscar candidate for best film and many other categories.
The film entitled in our region, One battle after anotherrevolve around a group of radical revolutionaries known as the French 75whose members steal banks, bombard structures, live the revolution! The first act consists in the introduction to these characters and their ideals, with several assemblies that leave little space to breathing.
The group leads it Leonardo DiCaprio –In your first collaboration with PTA–,, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Alana haim, Shayna McHayley Wood Harris.
Due to a specific fact, the group dissolves, and must return to action after 16 years, with The reappearance of an ancient enemyColonel Steven J. Lockjaw, played by An impeccable Sean Pennthe greatest adversary of the group and a white supremacist driven by hatred.
The movie Explore lasting struggles of the revolutionaries and exrevolutionaries against fascism and authoritarianism, in a contemporary United States that reflects the current political panorama.
And so we begin the second act, in which we will also meet the characters played by The always pleasant and scenes thief, Benicio del Toroand the Revelation of the film, Chase Infiniti (Presumed Innocent), giving life to the teenage daughter of DiCaprio, who is taken as a hostage by Lockjaw, in this project that marks its film debut.
The second act works as the true main story, producing a change of tone, intimately entering the dynamics between a father, Bob (Dicaprio), and his daughter, Willa (Infiniti), this prior to chaos in which we will immerse ourselves fully and that will not give truce until we reach an exciting and tense conclusion.
That bob has been left with ideals of revolutionary. Now Bob is held under the name Ghetto Pat, and The day passes in checkered pajamas robefight against drugs and seek a closer relationship with Willa.
In One battle after anotherthe Oscar winner by The Revenantdoes one of his finest works with a brilliantly convincing and versatile interpretation, and is shown Comicly exasperated trying to remember the keywords of the espionage network After years of consuming drugs and alcohol.
By the way, the bat The Big Lebowskiif this hall of fame was real.
There is also a great PTA script job. Anderson worked in the writing of the script for 20 years, slightly inspired by the novel Vineland de Thomas Pynchon. His characters – of three -dimensional characteristics – is one of his greatest strengths. There is not a single actor, main or secondary, that does not do a remarkable and efficient work.
With everything and that the time on the screen of Del Toro as the sensei Sergio St. Carlos is limited, does what Del Toro knows how to do: steal each of the scenes with a wise, humorous and calm presencebalancing what is at times, a chaotic presence of Bob.
And what to say of the Penn antagonist, Colonel Lockjawthat in the hands of any other actor he would have remained like a jester, but it is not the case with Penn, who He takes over the threatening personality of the villain and gives us another unforgettable interpretation.
It is important to say that the moments of humor do not overwhelm the dramatic of history, but that they integrate naturally in it. In particular, those with DiCaprio and Del Toro, in addition, Penn does an extraordinary work providing the audience with subtle details.
We can't talk about One Battle After Another Not to mention an important scene, of which we will not do absolutely any spoiler, but we will say that it is one of the reasons why this film will be commented for a long time this season, in prizesy In the years to come. The scene in question, takes place During climax in the third actin one Tense and dramatic sequence of car persecution, Filmed on a road full of hills at Borrego Springs, California. It is an amazing and well -achieved sequencethat will remain portrayed as a durable printing cinematographic feat.
Special mention to the original soundtrack composed of the frequent PTA collaborator, Jonny Greenwood (Licorice Pizza, Phantom Thread, There Will Be Blood), Playing a role as one more character, functioning as a fundamental piece in the story that develops in front of us.
The Genres mixture is another PTA skill; One battle after another It is sometimes a drama, a tragicomedy, a political thriller, and a character study. In the center of everything, the conflict is personal, and PTA combines it with genres with conviction.
Ultimately, the Message of One battle after another invites reflection by exploring the consequences of ideologies They become violent, while counts A story of hope, responsibility and love.
We recommend enjoying this incredible cinematographic trip on IMAX screen or on the largest possible screen available in your favorite cinema.
