This harmonium seems to symbolise both the hollow in Barry&#8217;s heart, and the possibility for replenishment. He has seven sisters, teasing and overbearing, and is prone to violent thrusts of frustration. But fate keeps bringing him together with Lena Leonard (Emily Watson), a coworker of his sister Elizabeth (Mary Lynn Rajskub), and sharing an impulsive empathy for one another, he follows Lena\u00a0to Hawaii and they consummate their fledgling romance.\u00a0Only one thing stands in their way: lonely Barry has previously called a sex line, just to talk, but they are now extorting him for money, in an operation led by a raucous mattress salesman (Philip Seymour Hoffman).<\/p>\n<p>After <em>Magnolia<\/em> (1999), <a href=\"https:\/\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/bringing-up-baby-and-inherent-vice-did-joaquin-phoenix-go-gay-all-of-a-sudden\/\">Paul Thomas Anderson<\/a> determined to make a 90-minute romantic comedy, and he wanted Adam Sandler for the lead role. But beyond\u00a0the genre and the casting, the long twelve-minute opening sequence of <em>Punch-Drunk Love<\/em>\u00a0establishes\u00a0that this is a daring and experimental film, which shares at least\u00a0as much\u00a0with <em>Eraserhead<\/em> (1977) or <em>Synecdoche, New York<\/em> (2008) as it does with <em>The Wedding Singer<\/em> (1998) or <em>Big Daddy<\/em> (1999).<\/p>\n<p>Jarring, enveloping electroacoustic sounds throb and hum and segue into orchestral swells, with prominent use of the harmonium in a score composed during filming by Jon Brion. Coloured abstractions &#8211; starscapes, unfurling flowers, cloud patterns, blocks and barriers &#8211; provide suggestive interludes, created by the artist Jeremy Blake. And Anderson draws from a wealth of classic cinema &#8211;\u00a0Charles Laughton&#8217;s <em>The Night of the Hunter<\/em> (1955), the French New Wave, <a href=\"https:\/\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/capsule-movie-review-mccabe-mrs-miller-1971\/\">Robert Altman<\/a>&#8216;s <em>Popeye<\/em> (1980) &#8211; alongside his own imagination to conjure virtuosic shots, as when Barry and Lena kiss between passing throngs in a hotel in Honolulu.<\/p>\n<p>This visceral film receives a subtle performance from Sandler, whose acting tends to be\u00a0imparted with innocence and humanity, even in some of those roles where he is accused of bullying, or in the majority where he is perceived as too silly. Emily Watson, who has made her career in challenging parts with the world&#8217;s greatest directors, makes Lena more than Barry&#8217;s match: while we know less of her background, she displays a fierce understanding and an intense longing, somehow certain that she has found her man. And the scenes towards the climax of <em>Punch-Drunk Love<\/em>,\u00a0where Sandler&#8217;s Barry and Hoffman&#8217;s mattress salesman Dean finally talk and then meet, are moments of hilarious, uproarious release.<\/p>\n<p><em>Punch-Drunk Love<\/em> is a constant surprise and delight. It is one of\u00a0cinema&#8217;s most acute and emotional portrayals of desperation, of psychic confusion, and of the tender clasp and jubilant onrush of love.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-separator type-thin\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/Punch-Drunk-Love-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9358 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/Punch-Drunk-Love-1.jpg?resize=696%2C960&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Punch-Drunk Love 1\" width=\"696\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/Punch-Drunk-Love-1.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/Punch-Drunk-Love-1.jpg?resize=218%2C300&amp;ssl=1 218w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/Punch-Drunk-Love-1.jpg?resize=768%2C1059&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/Punch-Drunk-Love-1.jpg?resize=743%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 743w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/Punch-Drunk-Love-1.jpg?resize=370%2C510&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/Punch-Drunk-Love-1.jpg?resize=770%2C1062&amp;ssl=1 770w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/culturedarm.com\/staging\/5793\/wp-content\/uploads\/Punch-Drunk-Love-1.jpg?resize=421%2C580&amp;ssl=1 421w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605 (4 out of 4 stars) &#8211; Barry Egan (Adam Sandler) owns\u00a0a warehouse which manufactures and sells novelty goods\u00a0&#8211; toilet plungers with supposedly non-breakable handles and so on &#8211; but channels all of his hopes into one venture: having carried out his research diligently, and as far as the vagaries of the promotion will allow, he has come to understand that by purchasing gross quantities of Healthy Choice pudding&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9359,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3875,4039],"tags":[3835,4130,2722],"class_list":{"0":"post-9345","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"category-movie-review","9":"tag-paul-thomas-anderson","10":"tag-punch-drunk-love","11":"tag-romantic-comedy"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Capsule Movie Review: Punch-Drunk Love (2002)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605 (4\/4) Barry Egan sells novelty goods while channelling his hopes in the direction of frequent flyer miles.
