In today's episode we are looking at the work of two directors named Anderson, although they're not related to one another.
We begin with Paul Thomas Anderson's MAGNOLIA, from 1999. This is a film that has the complexity of a Robert Altman film, in that we have many parallel stories in a few different spaces, and they do manage to bump into one another from time to time. PT Anderson sets us up for this in the opening scenes of the film, and it's a heckuva ride from one end to the other.
Stay tuned for Part 2, when we look at a film by Wes Anderson.
