Welcome to another edition of The BW/DR Podcast: Frame 25, our new series of bite-sized podcasts. This month: the relentlessness and romance of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch Drunk Love (2002), a movie so pretty, we just want to smash it.
Punch-Drunk Love—Paul Thomas Anderson’s fourth film, released when he was just 32 years old—puts you on uncertain footing from the very first frame.
Here and now, still a far cry from eviscerating the Barry in me altogether, it’s nice to have Punch-Drunk Love’s happy ending in my pocket.
