About this product

Product Information

Paul Thomas Anderson follows 1999's MAGNOLIA with the intensely compelling character study PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE. Barry Egan (Adam Sandler) is a quiet, shy, socially awkward man with an office in an out-of-the-way warehouse. He is dedicated to his job as a wholesale toilet plunger salesman, he keeps a nice apartment, and he is obsessed with special offers on grocery store products. Barry's latest fixation is on frequent flier miles included with the purchase of Healthy Choice foods. Barry wears a bright blue suit, though he doesn't know why. With seven outspoken sisters, he is constantly being nagged, questioned, and berated. He is challenged to explain the reasons for his actions, and it eventually becomes clear that Barry cannot control his often-violent impulses, a trait which is increasingly problematic. When a beautiful woman, Lena Leonard (Emily Watson), walks into his life with an instinctive attraction to him, a nonjudgmental attitude, and unconditional love, Barry undergoes a powerful transformation.<BR>Anderson's film is a tour-de-force for which he garnered the Best Director award at Cannes 2002. Set primarily in Los Angeles and Utah, he shoots either bleak deserted spaces (apartment building hallways) or lush, exotic paradises (Hawaii). Aiming for a Technicolor look, the blue of Barry's suit in contrast with Lena's solid pinks, reds, and whites, pops off of the screen. Colorful interludes designed by visual artist Jeremy Blake offer hallucinogenic lapses from the action of the film, while the rapid percussive score by Jon Brion keeps the suspense and the emotional exasperation of the film on a constantly high level.

ReviewsTotal Film - A must-see Adam Sandler movie, Los Angeles Times - ...[A] daring high-wire act....Unexpectedly sweet and pure..., USA Today - It proves that Sandler has talent [à] PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE is never heavy-handed. The jabs it employs are short, carefully placed and dead-center, Entertainment Weekly - Quietly sweet, even resonant [à] The most sincere and artful movie in which Adam Sandler will probably ever appear, Sight and Sound - Anderson remains one of the great visionaries of suburban Southern California, Rolling Stone - A marvel of pure emotion that links the rage inherent in the films of both Sandler and Anderson. Sandler can act, beautifully. That's that

  • Perfect transfer of the perfect film.

    The film is perfect. The film to Blu Ray transfer is perfect as well. Great bonus material on the disc. If you're a fan of Adam Sandler's comedy works, this might not be for you. It certainly doesn't play like an Adam Sandler comedy, and that's the point. That being said, it is incredibly funny at parts, heartfelt and touching at others. The character work and development is brilliant and the story told masterfully. 100% Recommended.
