Philip Seymour Hoffman is synonymous with Paul Thomas Anderson | TIFF 2021

- Adam Nayman overviews the two-decade collaboration between director Paul Thomas Anderson and his great friend, the late Philip Seymour Hoffman - from PTA’s feature directorial debut, HARD EIGHT, to the culmination of their work together in THE MASTER (Anderson’s self-proclaimed favourite film that he’s made).
This November 25-28, Adam Nayman returns to TIFF Bell Lightbox for the four-film programme “Paul Thomas Anderson: Evolution of a Master.” Size matters in the films of Paul Thomas Anderson, and the increasing visual and thematic scope of his work is illustrated by these 35mm and 70mm presentations tracing his evolution from big, unwieldy indie-cinema talent to a refined, mature American master. From the pyrotechnical brilliance of his sophomore breakthrough, Boogie Nights, to the elliptical psychic case study of The Master, to the wry fairy-tale riffage of Phantom Thread, Anderson has always crafted images strong and detailed enough to match his ideas. With introductions by critic Adam Nayman, author of the acclaimed 2020 book Paul Thomas Anderson: Masterworks, and a screening of David Lean’s 1949 romance The Passionate Friends, a major influence on Phantom Thread, this series seeks to honour these movies’ monumental accomplishments.

He was truly a standout individual in his craft. Rest In Peace to such an amazing person
Looking forward to seeing his son Cooper in PTA's new movie Licorice Pizza.
A terrific actor and better than DeNiro whose acting declined with his politics. DeNiro could be intense, but Hoffman could really act and let it fly, whether internally or with acting chops. Hoffman didn't leave a dime to his kids. So not so amazing. Toby Jones (2006s' Infamous) in Infamous might have done a better job than Hoffman playing Capote.
I consider Philip Seymour Hoffman to be on the same level as Robert de Niro, Denzel Washington, Leonardo DiCaprio and Al Pacino. He left us way too soon.
I couldnt agree more about his talent and the huge loss.
his performance in before the devil knows your dead is something i will never forget
@@arvandpiltan9833 thanks for remembering that one i also liked Charlie Wilsons War another underrated performance, and even his small role in Almost Famous was great
i think he is a much better actor than any of them
also, kinda strange comparisons; they're not usually in films that are comparable
I never realized the Dodd and Welles connection but it makes so much sense. True shame that ended up being that last film him and Paul would ever do together, but what a great film to end on at the very least
All of the great performers in Magnolia. I really appreciated Philip Seymour Hoffman's performance there.
Greatest actor of this generation. His performance in Capote the master and doubt blew my mind
Great analysis. Along with James Gandolfini, Hoffmans death really shook me to the point of crying. I felt like I knew both actors so well, had utmost respect for them and their loss felt so painful. Hoffman was an astonishingly brilliant actor. One of the greatest in film history.
Mr Hoffman was a generational talent
Nice collection of scenes and well deserved recognition for one of the best actors in recent years, an absolute tragedy and irreparable loss, yet it could have gone without the snark against PT Anderson's films. I thought that was kind of petulant.
Loved him in Capote. One of mine all time favourite
miss him so much
One of our greatest actors and greatest directors... Hoffman's one scene in _Hard Eight_ is incredible, and indicative of the work to come.
Gawd, I miss him. What a loss 😢
Thank you for this. It is wonderful
Wonderful video would love to see more like this
Great piece
I also liked him in Flawless.
Have you guys seen synedoche New York???? Phillip Seymour Hoffman is the leading role and it’s probably the most profound and brilliant movie I’ve ever seen
WOW. He was in Winnipeg where I live to film Capote. Amazing. I am entering his brothers Screen Writing Contest today as well.
Good luck! Make us proud!
Excellent video
Outstanding.
So good
Hoffman was a genius, especially in Happiness
This video was super interesting. Very well done, and emulating a style that could easily fall flat when transported to this context. Looking forward to any more video essays like this you guys compile, as well as anything this interesting related to PTA.
Interesting criticisms and some new thoughts I hadn't considered - I think that note about the "scumminess" of The Master was particularly interesting.
Looking forward to LP. Cheers!
you should read Adam Nayman's (the guy speaking here) book on PTA if you liked this! It just came out this year and its amazing
@@nicolaspoblete640 i just bought it a few weeks ago its great isnt it. Amazing insight and pictures.
@@nicolaspoblete640 Sounds cool, I'll check it out. Although I didn't resonate with most of his criticisms, if they're at least more fleshed out it'll be interesting to read.
Cheers.
@@mealtime5091 the book goes very in depth on all of his first 8 films.
Jesse plemmons reminds me of Philip Seymour Hoffman. I wouldn’t say he’s of the same level tho
I cried when he passed. I somehow hope that Adam Driver is a spiritual son to him. Though, in truth, Joaquim already _is._
Great fucking video
one of the finest actors I know. I love him as Freddit in The Talented Mr Ripley and in Love Liza. I mean....the list just goes on and on.
What’s with all the digs at PTA
Gone way too soon. Would've been one of the greatest if he had more time, already is in a lot of peoples opinions. It's just sad & unfair what could've been.
i can't believe you called it hard eight
Why? That's the name of the movie.
The main thing about PSH is when he is onscreen, you cant look away.
No he's not. Not synonyms, closely linked.
pedant
Bring him back :(
They made him do fucking Hunger Games!
Anime fans know unrequited love all too well :(
To bash the writing in boogie nights years later is such a cop out. Man I'm sick of this crap. Should we go back and analyze the earlier black and whites for wokness?
He was only critizing the writing of one character. If you read the book he wrote he loves all of Andersons work and does a great job of analyizing his films. You should read his book.
@@65g4 My response is to his criticism of the scene. This scene is marvelous it isn't about a gender or a sexuality, we have all been in that situation. We've embarrassed ourselves because we want someone that doesn't want us. That's my point. It isn't a derogatory statement about homosexuals. It's a statement about people who want someone who doesn't want them.
@@donniedarko979 Good video, but I see your point.
@@donniedarko979 Bro it's about a character outing himself as gay to his friend and confessing his unrequited love, if that's not about his sexuality I don't know what is. Yes it's a relatable scene to most people but it's absolutely fair whack to talk about it in relation to the portrayal of gay people on screen. Respond to the criticism, don't just say we can't talk about it
@@jonnywolFIFA in a movie in which all the main characters are misfits so to speak. Outside of society that formed their own family, to then key in on one of those characters sexuality is a cop out. Which characters are shown in a positive light? This movie is fantastic because it makes you uncomfortable. We just disagree but everyone can have an opinion.
