In tribute to digital artist Jeremy Blake whose work in Punch-Drunk Love is represented in this Eiga Chirashi artwork for the film from Japan. Mr. Blake passed away in 2007. I think this particular movie artwork is a great way to start out 2008, since it clearly will be a huge year for Paul Thomas Anderson and There Will Be Blood.

Romance blooms in one of the best romantic comedies this decade has seen.

“I like the idea of dressing the romantic leads in a matching style. Here it reinforces what’s obvious to everyone but Barry and Lena: that they belong together.”

With the portrayal of Barry, Adam Sandler shows he can just as easily play complex characters as he can more straight forward comedic ones.

“Designing with blues is not something you usually do because they’re so sensitive on film. But it worked very well for us because Paul (Thomas Anderson) was really interested in replicating the feeling of Technicolor. If you look at On the Town or An American in Paris, they weren’t afraid to use color then.”

Wonderful comedic and upbeat scene in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love.

“The challenge was to create something different by taking a more intuitive, uncharted approach than on our previous films. What Paul (Thomas Anderson) said to us, essentially, was, ‘I’m not sure where we’ll begin, but let’s not begin here, in this familiar place.’… Which meant that we all – Paul, the actors, the crew – were trying to relearn our jobs in some fundamental way.”

- Producer JoAnne Sellar on everyone working to create something that creatively organic and completely true to its material with Punch-Drunk Love

Got pudding?

“After Magnolia, which was a huge, dark, challenging movie, I think Paul (Thomas Anderson) wanted to make something that was contained, uplifting and sweet.”
