Join the cult of PTA with one of his best films, and one of the best performances of the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman. Anderson delves into a loose interpretation of Scientology with a side-helping of John Steinbeck’s life with this unsettling drama. Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) is a troubled, boozy drifter struggling with the trauma of World War II and whatever inner demons ruled his life before that. On a fateful night in 1950, Freddie boards a passing boat and meets Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the charismatic leader of a religious movement called the Cause. Freddie tries hard to adhere to Dodd’s weird teachings and forms a close bond with his mentor, even as other members of Dodd’s inner circle see him as a threat. Often cited as one of the best films of the century, Amy Adams, Joaquin Phoenix and Philips Seymour Hoffman were all nominated for acting Oscars for their roles.
