How to continue a career after 2 movies so great, in all respects as Boogie Nights (1997) and Magnolia (1999), two of the most important films of the late nineteenth century?. Paul Thomas Anderson fudges and premiered in 2002 Punch-Drunk Love, a film more modest scale which leaves the story and kaleidoscopic coral and un-romantic comedy with an unusual Martian, a generic hybrid that American director shows that it is able to take risks and have the freedom to shoot what he wants and how he pleases. In his images always floats a strange harmony to explode and break into pieces. Has the advantage of surprise and shock the viewer with the invention showing in this intelligent toy Anderson film is Punch-Drunk Love.
From the first scene, which sets the tone of the film and shakes us with its touch alien and absurd to David Lynch, "the car skids and gives over several times, and the harmonium that appears on the sidewalk in front of the warehouse where he works the protagonist, after which a woman appears and prompts you to guard your car until they open in the garage next-Anderson virtuosity characteristic is present, with very careful planning to spaces, in which Adam Sandler moves like the projection of a Jacques Tati moved to the last moments of the twentieth century.
Punch-Drunk Love talks about how love makes you strong people to address their miseries and small or large so they can integrate and connect with the world in which they live. Barry Egan, stuffed all the footage in his electric blue suit with red tie, is a loner and inhibited. A person with low self-esteem and problems communicating with others to vent their frustration with sudden outbursts of anger or uncontrolled crying. Two issues, loneliness and pain, recurring in the films of Paul Thomas Anderson. A timid man, overwhelmed by his seven sisters castrating, who lives an anonymous existence and gray, you get a day in your life an angel as a woman, Lena, who jerked his routine and gives you energy to react against all the trappings of the prisoner feels: those of his own family and a mafia intrigue in which he becomes involved as a scapegoat .. Thanks to his relationship with her, Barry will begin to feel worthy, to strengthen their identity to the world (beautiful scene in which she dances, awkwardly, at the supermarket as an expression of happiness), because now love immensely, and that makes it strong and capable of beating anyone.
Barry, a man constantly on the edge emotionally, is sustained by an Adam Sandler-actor unbearable in so many lousy movies, unknowingly sober, which provides a great deal of nuance to his role in a performance in which maggnífica says more about the character with the physical than verbal. De Lena, played by Emily Watson sweet and bright, just know nothing, is the counterpoint, the appearance that will upside down routine existence of Barry.
not go unnoticed in the viewing of Punch-Drunk Love two technical aspects: music and photography. Jon Brion's music is strange, dissonant, shrill at times, anything melodic and distorted expression of the emotions of Barry. The excellent photograph of Robert Elswitt, using saturated colors, gives the whole an air of strangeness that rubs against it Fantato and helps to enhance what's puzzling romantic comedy has Punch-Drunk Love.
