US Import Paul Thomas Anderson writes and directs this drama about a US Navy veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder who seeks salvation in the company of a charisma tic cult leader. Joaquin Phoenix stars as Freddie Quell, a troubled drifter who arrives home to post-WWII America shaken, disillusioned and fearful of the future. A raging alcoholic, Quell cannot begin to make sense of his deeply-rooted inner torment, let alone surmount it. When he meets Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the 'master' of a cult called The Cause, an intense and ambiguous relationship develops between the two men. But do Dodd's teachings hold the power to turn Quell's life around?Special Features: "Back Beyond" Outtakes - Additional Scenes Music by Jonny Greenwood (20 min) "Unguided Message" - 8 Minute Short Behind the Scenes Featurette Trailers Teasers "Let There Be Light" (1946) - John Huston's landmark documentary about WWII veterans (58 Minutes) Show more
