🎬 Films to Watch #9: One Battle After Another (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2025)

Join us for the next event in the **Films to Watch** series – this time at **EYE Filmmuseum** in Amsterdam, where we’ll see ***One Battle After Another***, the long-awaited new film by American master **Paul Thomas Anderson** (*There Will Be Blood, The Master,* ...).

📍 **Meeting point**: at the **bar of EYE** at **18:45**
🎞️ **Screening starts at 19:30**
🎟️ Tickets are available on EYE's official website (please book yours in advance! - free with the Cineville card)

We'll meet for a drink and a chat before the movie starts – the film is almost 3 hours long, so we’ll skip the after-drink this time. Luckily, EYE has a great bar to set the mood!

**About the Film**

Inspired once again by the cryptic prose of Thomas Pynchon, *One Battle After Another* is a wild, high-energy paranoia thriller. Grotesque, funny, and sharp, the film explores themes of activism, authoritarianism, and fatherhood through the eyes of Bob – a disheveled ex-revolutionary (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) trying to stay hidden while protecting his daughter.

With stunning visuals shot in old-school VistaVision, a powerful score by Jonny Greenwood, and standout performances (including Sean Penn as a twisted ICE colonel), this is being hailed as **one of Anderson’s finest works**, standing proudly alongside *There Will Be Blood* and *Boogie Nights*.
Whether you're into thrilling political metaphors, chaotic comedy, or just Anderson’s signature storytelling – this is a cinematic ride you won’t want to miss.

**As always, the event is open to everyone — whether you're a film lover, a curious newcomer, or just in for a good story and a chat.** See you there!
