Punch-Drunk Love (2002) - Movie Wallpaper

Being surrounded by seven sisters could not have been an easy existence for Barry, except perhaps in moments like this one.
“The idea was to emphasize the unique place that Adam and Emily’s characters occupy in the film by surrounding them with non-actors. This was especially important in the case of Barry’s sisters. Paul (Thomas Anderson) didn’t want to hire actors because he wanted to capture the raw awkwardness of family, where people nag and talk over each other and don’t wait for their cues.”
“I went to meet with these two sisters and in talking discovered that they had two cousins. So of the seven sisters in the film, six are non-actors and four are related. It was kind of crazy, especially given that we asked some of the women to bring their husbands along, but they all gelled perfectly. They had no fear.”
