À propos de ce film

Haunted by his past, WW-II veteran and drifter Freddie Quell crosses paths with a mysterious movement called The Cause, led by Lancaster Dodd, aka The Master, and his wife Peggy. Their twisted relationship is the core of this film which THE NEW YORK TIMES called "a glorious and haunting symphony of color, emotion and sound with camera movements that elicit an involuntary gasp and feats of acting that defy comprehension." Will Freddie be able to outrun his past? Will The Cause help or hurt him? Can this tortured, violent creature be civilized? Or is man, after all, just a dirty animal? Starring 2012 ACADEMY-AWARD® NOMINEES for Best Actor, Joaquin Phoenix, Best Supporting Actor, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and Best Supporting Actress, Amy Adams, ROLLING STONE calls THE MASTER "A mind bending cinematic landmark.

Notes et avis

Very nice movie, it requires tons of attention but I appreciate it, they say Joaquin Phoenix was the standout, but honestly, I admire Phillip Seymour Hoffman in this, it's saddening knowing he's no around, but at least he gifted us with this performance and it's only made better with his long time collaboration with Paul Thomas Anderson. Good film, I'm not in Scientology and this film just gives more reason for me to stay the heck away from it.
