Punch-Drunk Love

Rewatching this film (having seen Phantom Thread), I can see some similarities between the two. There are bits and pieces here that PTA would later explore more deeply in his latter film. I love this film so, so, so much. And I know that monologue — “I have a love in my life…” — is beautifully written. BUT there’s this one line: “I think I can go enough mileage to go with you wherever you have to go… so could you just let me redeem the mileage?” It just tickles my brain so bad. And that’s that.
