Phantom Thread

This was destined to win best costume design due to the unfathomable intricacy and saturation of its fashion in the plot. It’s dark but muted and doesn’t rely on too many dramatics to further the narrative, which works in a subtly twisted manner. The creative choices are spectacular, every element from the humour to the cinematography is crafted to the very last detail. A slow burn with narrative and visuals so rich that every second is just as thrilling as the last.
