Paul Thomas Anderson’s much-anticipated One Battle After Another has arrived in cinemas, but what songs are included? Find the full list below.
The acclaimed director, known for films such as There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights, Phantom Thread and Magnolia, has made his name with his liberal use of needle drops throughout his career, and this 10th film is no different.
The film is inspired by the 1990 novel Vineland by Thomas Pynchon, who Anderson has previously adapted with his 2014 film Inherent Vice.
It stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Bob Ferguson, a washed-up ex-revolutionary who leads a team in the attempted rescue of the daughter of one of their own. Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Chase Infiniti and Alana Haim co-star.
In a four star review of the film, NME wrote: “Operatic in its intensity and lush in its visuals (Anderson shot with old-school film format VistaVision), it’s a sometimes ragged, unwieldy experience. Like the recent Eddington, it’s another throw-it-against-the-wall-to-see-what-sticks movie. Some of it doesn’t. But thank the lord this $130m barmy blockbuster exists. From a pregnant Perfidia firing off rounds from her machine gun to an unforgettable finale on the undulating desert roads, it’s a mad stir of America’s melting pot on the cusp of boiling over.”
