Punch-Drunk Love - The Criterion Collection

£29.99

Released: 10th February 2025. Chaos lurks in every corner of this giddily off-kilter foray into romantic comedy by Paul Thomas Anderson. Struggling to cope with his erratic temper, novelty-toilet-plunger salesman Barry Egan (Adam Sandler, demonstrating remarkable versatility in his first dramatic role) spends his days collecting frequent-flier-mile coupons and dodging the insults of his seven sisters. The promise of a new life emerges when Barry inadvertently attracts the affection of a mysterious woman named Lena (Emily Watson), but their budding relationship is threatened when he falls prey to the swindling operator of a phone sex line and her deranged boss (played with maniacal brio by Philip Seymour Hoffman). Fueled by the careening momentum of a baroque-futurist score by Jon Brion, the Cannes-award-winning Punch-Drunk Love channels the spirit of classic Hollywood and the whimsy of Jacques Tati into an idiosyncratic ode to the delirium of new romance. DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES 4K digital restoration, supervised and approved by director Paul Thomas Anderson, with Dolby Atmos soundtrack One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features Blossoms & Blood, a short 2002 piece by Anderson featuring Adam Sandler and Emily Watson, along with music by Jon Brion Interview with Brion Program featuring behind-the-scenes footage of a recording session for the film’s soundtrack Conversation between curators Michael Connor and Lia Gangitano about the art of Jeremy Blake, used in the film Additional artwork by Blake Cannes Film Festival press conference from 2002 NBC News interview from 2000 with David Phillips, the “pudding guy” Twelve Scopitones Deleted scenes Mattress Man commercial Trailers English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing PLUS: An essay by filmmaker, author, and artist Miranda July Cover by Dustin Stanton
