Phantom Thread (2017)


Set in 1950's London, a renowned dressmaker's fastidious life is disrupted by a young, strong-willed woman, Alma, who becomes his muse and lover.

Meticulously produced period tale, with stellar performances, faultless cinematography and an excellent score, clearly references such Goth classics as Rebecca and Jane Eyre, but eschews the darker aspects of the plot in favour of the complex artist/muse relationship - and takes it a step further.
