Early life[edit]
Anderson's father, Ernie Anderson, in a 1961 advertisement.
Anderson was born June 26, 1970, in Studio City, California, to Edwina
(née Gough) and Ernie Anderson.[5][6] Ernie was an actor who was
the voice of ABC and a
Cleveland

Cleveland television late-night horror movie
host known as "Ghoulardi" (after whom Anderson later named his
production company).[5][6] Anderson grew up in the San Fernando
Valley.[7] He is third youngest of nine children,[8][9] and had a
troubled relationship with his mother but was close with his father,
who encouraged him to become a writer or director.[10] Anderson
attended a number of schools, including Buckley in Sherman Oaks, John
Thomas Dye School, Campbell Hall School,
Cushing Academy

Cushing Academy and Montclair
Prep.[9]
Anderson was involved in filmmaking from a young age[11][12] and never
really had an alternative plan to directing films.[13] He made his
first film when he was eight years old[8] and started making movies on
a
Betamax

Betamax video camera which his dad bought in 1982 when he was twelve
years old.[12] He later started using
8 mm film

8 mm film but realized that
video was easier.[11] He began writing in adolescence, and at 17 years
old he began experimenting with a
Bolex

Bolex sixteen millimeter
camera.[11][14] After years of experimenting with "standard fare", he
wrote and filmed his first real production as a senior in high school
at Montclair Prep using money he earned cleaning cages at a pet
store.[12][15] The film was a thirty-minute mockumentary shot on video
called
The Dirk Diggler Story (1988), about a pornography star; the
story was inspired by John Holmes, who also served as a major
inspiration for Boogie Nights.[9][10][11][14]
Career[edit]
Early career[edit]
Anderson attended Santa Monica College[16] before enrolling and
spending two semesters as an English major at
Emerson College

Emerson College where he
was taught by David Foster Wallace, and only two days at New York
University before he began his career as a production assistant on
television films, music videos and game shows in
Los Angeles

Los Angeles and New
York City.[9][17][18] Feeling that the material shown to him at film
school turned the experience into "homework or a chore",[19] Anderson
decided to make a twenty-minute film that would be his "college".[17]
For $20,000, made up of gambling winnings, his girlfriend's credit
card, and money his father set aside for him for college,[17] Anderson
made Cigarettes & Coffee (1993), a short film connecting multiple
story lines with a twenty-dollar bill.[9][14][20] The film was
screened at the 1993
Sundance Festival

Sundance Festival Shorts Program.[14] He decided
to expand the film into a feature-length film and was subsequently
invited to the 1994 Sundance Feature Film Program.[9][14][20] At the
Sundance Feature Film Program,
Michael Caton-Jones served as
Anderson's mentor; he saw Anderson as someone with "talent and a fully
formed creative voice but not much hands-on experience" and gave him
some hard and practical lessons.[12]
1990s[edit]
While at the Sundance Feature Film Program, Anderson already had a
deal with
Rysher Entertainment to direct his first full-length
feature, Sydney, retitled Hard Eight (1996).[10][12] Upon completion
of the film, Rysher re-edited it.[12] Anderson, who still had the
workprint of his original cut, submitted the film to the 1996 Cannes
Film Festival,[14] where it was accepted and screened in the Un
Certain Regard section.[21][22] Anderson was able to get his version
released but only after he retitled the film, and raised the $200,000
necessary to finish it; Anderson and stars Philip Baker Hall, Gwyneth
Paltrow and
John C. Reilly

John C. Reilly contributed the funding.[12][14] The
version that was released was Anderson's and the acclaim from the film
launched his career.[14][9] Its story concerns three people: Syndey
Brown (Hall), an experienced gambler who takes John Finnegan (Reilly)
under his wing, while John becomes romantically involved with a
troubled waitress (Paltrow). The film also featured Philip Seymour
Hoffman as an arrogant gambler, beginning a five-film collaboration
between the pair.[23] In his review of the film, Chicago Sun-Times
critic
Roger Ebert

Roger Ebert wrote, "Movies like Hard Eight remind me of what
original, compelling characters the movies can sometimes give us."[24]
Anderson began working on the script for his next feature film during
his troubles with Hard Eight,[12] completing the script in 1995.[14]
The result was Anderson's breakout for the drama film Boogie Nights
(1997),[25][26][27] which is based on his short film The Dirk Diggler
Story and is primarily set in the Golden Age of Porn. The film follows
a nightclub dishwasher (Mark Wahlberg), who becomes a popular
pornographic actor under his stage name Dirk Diggler.[9][14][28] The
script was noticed by New Line Cinema's president, Michael De Luca,
who felt "totally gaga" reading it.[12] It was released on October 10,
1997 and was a critical and commercial success.[10] The film revived
the career of Burt Reynolds,[29][30] and provided breakout roles for
Wahlberg and Julianne Moore.[31][32][33] After the film's production,
Reynolds refused to star in Anderson's next film Magnolia.[34] At the
70th
Academy Awards

Academy Awards ceremony, the film was nominated for three Academy
Awards, including for Best Supporting Actor (Burt Reynolds), Best
Supporting Actress (Julianne Moore) and Best Original Screenplay.[35]
After the success of Boogie Nights, New Line told Anderson that he
could do whatever he wanted for his next film and granted him creative
control.[10] Though Anderson initially wanted to make a film that was
"intimate and small-scale", the script "kept blossoming". The
resulting film was the ensemble piece Magnolia (1999), which tells the
story of the peculiar interaction of several individuals in the San
Fernando Valley.[36][37] Anderson used the music of
Aimee Mann

Aimee Mann as a
basis and inspiration for the film,[38] commissioning her to write
eight new songs.[39] At the 72nd Academy Awards, Magnolia received
three nominations, for Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Tom Cruise),
Best Original Song for "Save Me" by
Aimee Mann

Aimee Mann and Best Original
Screenplay.[40] Anderson stated after the film's release that "what I
really feel is that Magnolia is, for better or worse, the best movie
I'll ever make."[41]

After the release of Magnolia, Anderson stated that he would like to
work with comedic actor
Adam Sandler
.jpg/440px-Adam_Sandler_2011_(Cropped).jpg)
Adam Sandler in the future and that he was
determined to make his next film a comparatively shorter length of
just 90 minutes.[26][36] The resulting feature was the romantic
comedy-drama film
Punch-Drunk Love

Punch-Drunk Love (2002), starring Sandler, with
Emily Watson
.jpg/440px-Belle_11_(9779985223).jpg)
Emily Watson portraying his love interest.[42] The story centers on a
beleaguered small-business owner (Sandler) with anger issues and seven
emasculating sisters. A subplot in the film was partly based on David
Phillips (also called The Pudding Guy).[42] Sandler received critical
praise for his role in his first major departure from the mainstream
comedies that had made him a star.[43][44] At the 2002 Cannes Film
Festival, Anderson won the Best Director Award and was nominated for
the Palme d'Or.[45]
There Will Be Blood

There Will Be Blood (2007) was loosely based on the Upton Sinclair
novel Oil!.[46] It follows Daniel Plainview, a ruthless silver miner
exploiting the Southern
California

California oil boom of the late 19th and early
20th centuries.[47] The budget of the film was $25 million, and it
earned $76.1 million worldwide.[48]
Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis starred and won
an Oscar for Best Leading Actor for his role.[49] The film received
eight nominations overall at the 80th Academy Awards.[49] Paul Dano
received a
BAFTA

BAFTA nomination for Best Supporting Actor.[50] Anderson
was nominated for Best Director from the Directors Guild of
America.[51] The film also received eight
Academy Award

Academy Award nominations,
tying with No Country for Old Men for the most nominations that
year.[52] Anderson received nominations for Best Picture, Best
Director and Best Adapted Screenplay, losing all three to the Coen
Brothers for No Country for Old Men.[49]
There Will Be Blood

There Will Be Blood was
regarded by some critics as one of the greatest films of the decade,
some parties further declaring it one of the most accomplished
American films of the modern era; David Denby of
The New Yorker

The New Yorker wrote
"the young writer-director
Paul Thomas Anderson

Paul Thomas Anderson has now done work that
bears comparison to the greatest achievements of Griffith and Ford",
while
Richard Schickel proclaimed it "one of the most wholly original
American movies ever made".[53] In 2017, New York Times film critics
A. O. Scott
_(cropped).jpg/440px-A._O._Scott_(29424113753)_(cropped).jpg)
A. O. Scott and
Manohla Dargis named it the "Best Film of the 21st
Century So Far".[54]
2010s[edit]
In December 2009, Anderson was working on a new script tentatively
titled The Master, about a "charismatic intellectual" who starts a new
religion in the 1950s.[55] An associate of Anderson stated that the
idea for the film had been in Anderson's head for about twelve
years.[56] The Master was released on September 14, 2012 by The
Weinstein Company in the
United States

United States and Canada[57] to critical
acclaim.[58][59] The film stars
Joaquin Phoenix

Joaquin Phoenix as Freddie Quell, an
alcoholic
World War II

World War II veteran who meets Lancaster Dodd, played by
Philip Seymour Hoffman, a leader of a religious movement known as "The
Cause". Though the film makes no reference to the movement, it has
"long been widely assumed to be based on Scientology."[60] The Master
received three nominations at the 85th Academy Awards: Joaquin Phoenix
for Best Leading Actor,
Philip Seymour Hoffman

Philip Seymour Hoffman for Best Supporting
Actor and
Amy Adams

Amy Adams for Best Supporting Actress.[61]
Production of Anderson's adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's 2009 novel
Inherent Vice

Inherent Vice began in May 2013 and ended in August of the same
year.[62] The film marked the first time that Pynchon allowed his work
to be adapted for the screen and saw Anderson work with Phoenix for a
second time.[63][64][65][66] The supporting cast includes Owen
Wilson,[67] Reese Witherspoon,[68][69] Jena Malone,[69] Martin
Short,[69][70] Benicio Del Toro,[71] Katherine Waterston,[72] Josh
Brolin,[73] Peter McRobbie,[74] Michael K. Williams[75] and Eric
Roberts.[76] Following its year-end release in December 2014, the film

Adapted Screenplay and Mark Bridges for Best Costume Design.[77]

Phantom Thread, set during the
London

London fashion industry in 1954, was
released in late 2017.[81] It starred
Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis in his first
acting role since Lincoln in 2012 and is also reportedly Day-Lewis's
final performance in a film, following four decades in the
profession.[82] The cast also includes Lesley Manville, Vicky Krieps
and Richard Graham.[81] In September 2016, the U.S. distribution
rights were acquired by Focus Features, with Universal handling
international distribution.[83] Principal photography began in January
2017. Cinematographer
Robert Elswit was unavailable during the
production,[84] and despite claims of Anderson acting as his own
cinematographer on the film, there is no official credit.[85]
Other work[edit]
In 2000, Anderson wrote and directed a segment for Saturday Night Live
with Ben Affleck, "SNL FANatic", based on the
MTV

MTV series FANatic.[86]
Anderson was a standby director during the 2005 filming of Robert
Altman's A Prairie Home Companion for insurance purposes, as Altman
was 80 years old at the time.[87] In 2008, Anderson co-wrote and
directed a 70-minute play at the Largo Theatre, comprising a series of
vignettes starring
Maya Rudolph

Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisen, with a live score by
Jon Brion.[88]
Throughout his career, Anderson has also directed numerous music
videos, usually for artists who he has also collaborated on films
with, including Fiona Apple, Radiohead, HAIM, Joanna Newsom, Aimee
Mann, Jon Brion, and Michael Penn.[89][90][91]
Jonny Greenwood

Jonny Greenwood of
Radiohead, Mann, Brion and Penn have scored or contributed music to
his films, while Newsom acted in Inherent Vice.[89] Anderson directed
a short film for HAIM in 2017, Valentine, featuring three musical
performances from the band.[92]
Influences and style[edit]
Influences[edit]
Anderson only attended film school for two days, preferring to learn
the craft by watching films by the filmmakers he liked, as well as
watching films accompanied by director's audio commentary.[7][13][14]
He has cited Martin Scorsese, Robert Altman, Jonathan Demme, Stanley
Kubrick, Orson Welles,
Max Ophüls and Robert Downey, Sr., as his main
influences.[93][11][27][94]
Themes and style[edit]
Anderson is known for films set in the
San Fernando Valley

San Fernando Valley with
realistically flawed and desperate characters.[13][95] Among the
themes dealt with in Anderson's films are dysfunctional familial
relationships,[27][94][96] alienation,[94] surrogate families,[97]
regret,[94] loneliness,[27] destiny,[9] the power of forgiveness,[8]
and ghosts of the past.[27] Anderson makes frequent use of repetition
to build emphasis and thematic consistency. In Boogie Nights,
Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love and The Master, the phrase "I didn't do
anything" is used at least once, developing themes of responsibility
and denial.[98][99][100][101] Anderson's films are known for their
bold visual style[95] which includes stylistic trademarks such as
constantly moving camera,[41][95] steadicam-based long
takes,[25][27][102] memorable use of music,[25][41][95] and
multilayered audiovisual imagery.[25][102] Anderson also tends to
reference the Book of Exodus, either explicitly or subtly, such as in
recurring references to Exodus 8:2 in Magnolia,[103] which chronicles
the plague of frogs, culminating with the literal raining of frogs in
the film's climax, or the title and themes in There Will Be Blood, a
phrase that can be found in Exodus 7:19, which details the plague of
blood.[104][105]
Within his first three films, Hard Eight,
Boogie Nights

Boogie Nights and Magnolia,
Anderson explored themes of dysfunctional families, alienation and
loneliness.[27][94]
Boogie Nights

Boogie Nights and Magnolia were noted for their
large ensemble casts,[26][95] which Anderson returned to in Inherent
Vice.[73][106] In Punch-Drunk Love, Anderson explored similar themes
but expressed a different visual style, shedding the influences and
references of his earlier films, being more surreal and having a
heightened sense of reality.[94][102] It was also short, compared to
his previous two films, at 90 minutes.[26]
There Will Be Blood

There Will Be Blood stood apart from his first four films but shared
similar themes and style such as flawed characters, moving camera,
memorable music, and a lengthy running time.[95] The film was more
overtly engaged with politics than his previous films had been,[26]
examining capitalism and themes such as savagery, optimism, and
obsession.[107] The Master dealt with "ideas about American
personality, success, rootlessness, master-disciple dynamics, and
father-son mutually assured destruction."[108] All of his films deal
with American themes with business versus art in Boogie Nights,
ambition in There Will Be Blood, self-reinvention in The Master.[109]
Frequent collaborators[edit]
Philip Seymour Hoffman

Philip Seymour Hoffman appeared in more of Anderson's films than any
other actor
Anderson frequently collaborates with many actors and crew, carrying
them over from film to film.[110] Anderson has referred to his regular
actors as "my little rep company" that has included John C. Reilly,
Philip Baker Hall, Julianne Moore, William H. Macy, Melora Walters,
and most prominently, the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.[111] Luis
Guzmán is also considered Anderson's regular.[112] Hoffman acted in
Anderson's first four films[113] as well as The Master.[114] Except
for Paul F. Tompkins, Kevin Breznahan and Jim Meskimen, who all had
equally minor roles in Magnolia,[115]
There Will Be Blood

There Will Be Blood had an
entirely new cast. Anderson is one of three directors – the others
being
Jim Sheridan and
Martin Scorsese
.jpg/440px-Martin_Scorsese_Berlinale_2010_(cropped).jpg)
Martin Scorsese – with whom Daniel Day-Lewis
has collaborated more than once.[116]
Robert Elswit has been
cinematographer for all of Anderson's films except The Master, which
was shot by Mihai Mălaimare Jr.[117] and
Phantom Thread which has no
credited cinematographer.
Jon Brion served as composer for Hard Eight,
Magnolia and Punch-Drunk Love,[118] and
Jonny Greenwood

Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead
for every film since.[119]
Dylan Tichenor edited Boogie Nights,
Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, and Phantom Thread.[120][121] Anderson
also regularly works with producing partners, JoAnne Sellar, Scott
Rudin,
Michael De Luca

Michael De Luca and Daniel Lupi,[122] as well as casting
director Cassandra Kulukundis.[114]
