Why we chose it

Paul Thomas Anderson’s romantic comedy is a knockout: eccentric, and you’ll fall for it anyway. Adam Sandler, Emily Watson and Philip Seymour Hoffman star in the story of a man with uncontrollable rage who meets a woman who isn’t scared of him, and it won Anderson Best Director at Cannes.

Synopsis

Barry Egan sells novelty toilet plungers, suffers from bouts of panic and rage, and has seven sisters who never leave him alone. One morning a car flips over outside his warehouse and someone leaves a strange musical instrument on the pavement, and that same day Lena, a colleague of one of his sisters, turns up. Barry has already worked out that a pudding promotion will earn him more air miles than he could ever use. He just has nowhere to fly yet.
