Paul Thomas Anderson: A Chronological Timeline

Jeremy Ratzlaff February 10, 2016

It's been extremely exciting (if not somewhat embarrassing) to watch my video essay on Paul Thomas Anderson's films become as popular as it has after uploading it to my Vimeo page. Every cinephilic publication from IndieWire's Press Play and The Playlist to filmmaking catch-all website No Film School have written about it, and the stream of encouraging comments and messages from fellow film fans has been overwhelmingly positive and encouraging. One publication, Mentorless, even built a fricken' flowchart based on my loose narrative theory. I'm not joking. It's like one of the top five most flattering things that has ever happened to me on the internet.

I honestly had no idea I was building some sort of definitive anthropology on PTA's narrative archetypes, but there it is! Thanks, Nathalie!
