(working title "Soggy Bottom")
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson
USA 2021
Licorice Pizza is the timeless story of Alana Kane and Gary Valentine growing up, running around and falling in love in the San Fernando Valley, 1973. "This hypnotically gorgeous, funny, romantic movie freewheels its way around from scene to scene, from character to character, from setpiece to setpiece, with absolute mastery." "Paul Thomas Anderson's most lovable and magical work to date. The breakthrough performances from Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman are so magnetic and natural that they feel like some kind of miracle." "Watching Licorice Pizza is like watching life with all the boring parts cut out and like watching movies with all the phony parts cut out." Featuring performances by Bradley Cooper, Sean Penn, Tom Waits and Benny Safdie. *** The story of Alana Kane and Gary Valentine growing up, running around and going through the treacherous navigation of first love in the San Fernando Valley, 1973. |

On their
Blu-ray,
Universal use a robust DTS-HD Master 5.1 surround track (24-bit) in the
original English language. Licorice Pizza
has plenty of playful separations and quite a few instances exercising
the track's, surprisingly potent, depth. The film's music is brilliant
with a score credited to
Jonny Greenwood - the group
Radiohead’s lead guitarist - (notable for composing for films
We Need to Talk About Kevin,
Norwegian Wood and Anderson's
Inherent Vice,
There Will Be Blood,
Phantom Thread
and
The Master) and Licorice Pizza
has a fabulous mix connoting the 70's and beyond with music by Nina
Simone, American jazz pianist Johnny Guarnieri, Todd Rundgren, Bing
Crosby & The Andrews Sisters, Sonny & Cher, The Doors, Gordon Lightfoot,
Blood Sweat & Tears, Paul McCartney and Wings, David Bowie, Gary Puckett
and The Union Gap, Seals & Crofts, Mason Williams, Donovan (with The
Jeff Beck Group) and others. It adds significantly to the period
representation sounding embraceable in the lossless. There is an
optional French DUB and English audio descriptive track available.
Universal offer optional English (SDH), Spanish or French subtitles on
their Region FREE
Blu-ray.

Blu-ray
Paul Thomas Anderson's Licorice Pizza
is beautifully engaging focusing on Gary's entrepreneurial spirit with
love his escape valve while Alana seeks her calling through personal
political participation. As they come together, and float in-and-out of
each other's orbits - reconciling and drifting away again - we are
shared unconventional youth romance that still has unmistakable
nostalgia of the 70s and the evolution of their quirky relationship. PTA
considered
Fast Times at Ridgemont High and
American Graffiti as major influences in making Licorice
Pizza. It's a gorgeous film with exceptional art direction and brief
appearances by Sean Penn, Tom Waits, Bradley Cooper, and Benny Safdie.
The director never fails to make highly interesting films and the
