#634 - Benicio del Toro on One Battle After Another

This week we’re excited to present a conversation with One Battle After Another cast member Benicio del Toro as he discusses his performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's new film that’s been heralded as one of the year’s finest. This conversation was moderated by FLC Senior Programmer Tyler Wilson. Paul Thomas Anderson’s most viscerally thrilling film to date is a total blast, an epic, comic adventure of the weird new America that spans years and stretches from across the treacherous rolling-hill highways of the southwest and beyond. Inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland, but with a flavor and cinematic rush that’s pure PTA, One Battle After Another is an exhilarating, ultimately moving portrait of undying commitment to family amidst the mania of our contemporary world.
