Women come and go through Woodcock’s life, providing the confirmed bachelor with inspiration and companionship – until he comes across a young, strong-willed woman, Alma (Vicky Krieps in her breakout role), who soon becomes a fixture in his life as his muse and lover. Once controlled and rigorous, he finds his carefully tailored life disrupted by love.
Not quite a romcom, Anderson’s 1950s haute couture gothic Phantom Thread is a (somewhat twisted) romance with a generous dash of black comedy. Day-Lewis reunites with Anderson to give the director a quieter but no less finely drawn performance, as a tightly wound head of a London fashion house.
