“What a crazy film”: Spielberg has a battle after another and Paul Thomas Anderson

The press is also won over by the film carried by Leonardo DiCaprio, which will be released in September at the cinema.

It is one of the most anticipated films of the year, and we thought we saw it in big festivals like Cannes or Venice. One battle after another (One Battle After Another in VO) Zapped the red carpets, but that does not prevent him from making the buzz. Presented this Tuesday at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, the first collaboration between Paul Thomas Anderson and Leonardo DiCaprio seems to hold all his promises. And much more.

The day before, a screening of the film had already been organized for Directors Guild of America (DGA), the directors’ union. She was preceded by a question/answers with Steven Spielberg as a moderator. The legendary filmmaker has already seen One battle after another three times (!), And it is completely crazy, according to The Film Stage Who reports his words:

“”What a crazy film, oh my god. There is more action in the first hour than in all the films you made united. Everything is really incredible. It is a concoction of things that are so bizarre and at the same time so relevant. And I think they have become much more relevant than when you have finished the scenario, set up the casting and your team and started production.“”

In One battle after anotherfreely inspired by a novel by Thomas Pynchon, VinelandLeonardo DiCaprio embodies a “Ancient disillusioned and paranoid revolutionary“, describes the official synopsis.”When his sworn enemy resurfaces after 16 years and Willa disappears, Bob stirred heaven and earth to find her, facing for the first time the consequences of his past… “Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor and Chase Infiniti complete the casting.

“”I have never seen such a close film in the tone of Dr FOLAMOUR by Stanley Kubrick “then developed Spielberg. “”We are in absurd comedy, taken with great seriousness, because it reflects so much what’s going on in our country today, every day. But it brings him to a level where you want to laugh, because if you don’t laugh you will start howling: ‘It’s too real’. “

Journalists who could see One battle after another are as rave as Spielberg, many already calling him “as”Best movie of the year“, like the Brett Arnold podcaster:

“I yelled at laughing, it was probably the funniest Anderson film, and in the end I was so moved that I cried. Sean Penn will win a widely deserved Oscar. And the action! My God. I keep thinking about pursuit by car and his camera movements.”

The film’s promotion asked a lot about social networks, but the sauce has obviously taken and A battle After the other will arrive at the cinema (September 24 in France) preceded by a huge hype. At the height of the meeting between PTA, the already iconic director of Boogie Nights,, There will be blood Or Licorice Pizzaand DiCaprio, one of the last major Hollywood stars.
