Not content with delivering two of the best movies of the nineties, (Boogie Nights and Magnolia), Paul Thomas Anderson pulls another rabbit out of the hat with the sprawling old fashioned epic, "There Will Be Blood".
Hinging on an astonishing performance from Daniel Day Lewis, this is a movie that deals subjectively with mans dangerous obsession for wealth and the startling parallels between capitalism and religion.
Cinematography of the highest calibre complements this highly intellectual movie which was (unbelievably) beaten to the Best Picture Oscar by the highly overrated Coen Brothers movie "No Country for Old Men".
