==Plot==

▲In 1950s London, well-known fashion designer Reynolds Woodcock ([[Daniel Day-Lewis]]) creates dresses for members of high society. His charisma is matched by his obsessive and controlling personality. Cyril ([[Lesley Manville]]), his sister, manages the day-to-day operations of his fashion house and has significant influence over his life. The superstitious Reynolds is haunted by the death of their mother, and often stitches hidden messages into the linings of the dresses he makes.
At first, Alma enjoys being
▲After designing a new gown for a revered client, Countess Henrietta Harding ([[Gina McKee]]), Reynolds visits a restaurant in the countryside and becomes interested in a foreign waitress, Alma Elson ([[Vicky Krieps]]). He asks her to have dinner with him, and she accepts. Their relationship develops, and she moves in with him, becoming his model, muse and lover. Cyril initially distrusts Alma but comes to respect her willfulness and determination.
After Reynolds recovers, he tells Alma that a house that does not change "is a dead house" and asks her to marry him. Taken aback, she hesitates, but then accepts. After a honeymoon in [[Switzerland]], Reynolds and Alma start bickering again as Reynolds's domineering personality reasserts itself. Cyril tells Reynolds that Lady Harding is now a client at a rival fashion house and suggests that his classic, conservative designs may be going out of style. Reynolds blames Alma for upending his routines, saying she doesn't fit in and has turned him and Cyril against each other. Alma overhears him.
▲At first, Alma enjoys being a part of Reynolds' work, but he proves aloof, hard to please and overly finicky. They begin to bicker. When Alma tries to show her love for Reynolds by preparing a romantic dinner for two, he lashes out, saying he will not tolerate deviations from the routines he has worked hard to perfect. Alma “retaliates” by poisoning Reynolds' tea with wild mushrooms gathered outside his country house. As he readies a wedding gown for a Belgian princess, Reynolds collapses, damaging the dress and forcing his staff to work all night to repair it. He becomes gravely ill and has hallucinations of his mother. Alma nurses him back to health. He asks her to marry him; she accepts.

===Filming===
[[Principal photography]] began in late January 2017 in [[Lythe]],
===Cinematography===
While [[Robert Elswit]] had served as [[cinematographer]] for most of Anderson's previous films, Anderson ultimately served as his own cinematographer for ''Phantom Thread''.<ref name = Sharf>{{cite news|url = https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/robert-elswit-criticizes-paul-thomas-anderson-phantom-thread-filming-1234594273/|title = Paul Thomas Anderson’s Former DP Robert Elswit Doesn’t Like the Way ‘Phantom Thread’ Looked|last = Sharf|first = Zack|date = October 21, 2020|accessdate = January 2, 2025|work = [[IndieWire]]}}</ref> No cinematographer is listed in the film's credits, but Michael Bauman, who previously worked as Anderson and Elswit's [[Gaffer (filmmaking)|gaffer]], was credited as the "lighting cameraman". Anderson and Bauman [[push processing|pushed]] their [[35 mm movie film|35 mm film]] stock and filled its frames with "theatrical haze" to "dirty up" their look; according to Bauman, "One of the first things [Paul] said was, 'Look, this cannot look like ''[[The Crown (TV series)|The Crown]]''.' That was a big thing. When people think of a period movie it becomes this beautifully polished, amazingly photographed—I mean, ''The Crown'' looks beautiful—but super clean, gorgeous light, and he was clear it couldn't look like that."<ref>{{cite web |title=How Paul Thomas Anderson Dirtied-Up 'Phantom Thread' to Avoid the Polish of 'The Crown' |url=https://www.indiewire.com/2017/12/phantom-thread-paul-thomas-anderson-cinematography-1201909965/ |publisher=[[IndieWire]] |access-date=March 13, 2018 |date=December 20, 2017 |last=O'Falt |first=Chris |archive-date=March 14, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180314042543/https://www.indiewire.com/2017/12/phantom-thread-paul-thomas-anderson-cinematography-1201909965/ |url-status=live}}</ref> In 2020, Elswit publicly expressed skepticism of Anderson's cinematography, saying in an interview, "He just threw a lot of smoke in the room. Which he never would let me do, he never let me smoke a set... I enjoyed the film [but] if I shot that movie I would not be happy with it ending up looking like it looked, that's all".<ref name = Sharf/>
