Review of "One Battle After Another"
The film "One Battle After Another" starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is a testament to Paul Anderson's genius filmmaking.
However, it is not the statement film it is being regarded as. The line
"We failed, but maybe you will not."reflects both the melancholy and hope central to the film.
Loosely based on the Thomas Pynchon novel "Vineland," the film transplants Pynchon's 1980s-set exploration of aging revolutionaries into the modern day.
The movie is the newest work from writer and director Paul Thomas Anderson, known for films such as "Boogie Nights" and "There Will Be Blood."
Author's summary: Paul Anderson's film is a genius work.
