Plot

In the early 1900s, Daniel Plainview, a ruthless silver miner turned oilman, builds a fortune in California oil. He adopts the orphaned son of a worker, who becomes his partner, and begins a deadly rivalry with the young preacher Eli Sunday. Paul Thomas Anderson's 2007 film, with Daniel Day-Lewis in an Oscar-winning performance, is a powerful study of greed, faith and obsession.

Sinekatalog’s take

Paul Thomas Anderson's oil-boom epic is a portrait of greed and obsession. Daniel Day-Lewis dominates as Daniel Plainview, Jonny Greenwood's score unsettles, and the final scene is wildly memorable.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
