In 1999 Paul Thomas Anderson made a 3 hour and 9 minute family drama entitled, Magnolia, which included a star studded cast, headed by Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Julianne Moore, William H. Macy, and John C. Reilly. Interestingly, it was more or less snubbed during award season. A movie that can be described as relentless in its rising tension, it is probably known best for the scene where it rains frogs over the desperate and hopeless characters whose lives interconnect through what appears to be more than coincidence. Have a listen as The Tilt Shift tries to break down this elusive, and under- appreciated gem of a film.
