This has been the strongest year cinema has seen in at least a decade, so the following claim is not mild: There Will Be Blood is 2007's best film. In his previous work (Boogie Nights, 1997; Magnolia, 1999), director P.T. Anderson already exhibited his capacity for bold, sprawling ensembles boasting a political, aesthetic, and psycho-spiritual breadth rarely attained — or even aspired to — in the current US landscape. But this epic about the rise and fall of a '20s oil tycoon (Daniel Day-Lewis) in the unflinching American West distills Anderson's previous bloat to a spare, searing, and wholly unpredictable study of this country's currently most defining impulse: Manifest Destiny.
