Review of There Will Be Blood (2007) by Dave C — 16 Jul 2017

Small towns and farmers shift from agriculture to oil in this tremendous gothic post-western as a man shot through with sourness builds a ruthless empire buying land (rights) from struggling farmers.

Everything is grist to his mill, exploiting any weakness and getting rid of every encumbrance ironically up close and personal.

Almost operatic in it realisation, I'd suggest a small intoxicant of your choice as a good way to appreciate the film, but do see it if you missed its theatre release.
