Catalogue information
Overloaded with film awards: Day-Lewis won an Oscar (best actor) in 2008 with this film epic. Late 19th century. When Daniel Plainview receives a mysterious tip about a small town in the West where the oil would literally spurt out of the ground, he goes with his son H.W. on an adventure, on the way to dusty Little Boston. In this brutal town, where local entertainment is limited to the Halleluja Church of charismatic pastor Eli Sunday, Plainview and H.W. their stroke. But even though the oil makes them rich, nothing stays the same as conflict escalates and all human values - love, hope, faith, ambition, community, and even the bond between father and son - come under attack as a result of corruption, deceit and the richly flowing oil.
