Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love is coming to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in the UK, from Criterion. More here.
After a rush of releases in the run up to Christmas, it’s nice to see that catalogue 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray titles aren’t slowing down too much early in 2025. And one early treat is the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray debut of Paul Thomas Anderson’s film, Punch-Drunk Love.
Starring Adam Sandler (in arguably his most acclaimed role this side of Uncut Gems) and Emily Watson, the film dates back to 2002, and was Anderson following up the double punch of Boogie Nights and Magnolia.
The movie’s 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray comes curtesy of The Criterion Collection, which is set to release the film on 10th February 2025.
The listing for it is live now too. You can find more information on the release, and order a copy, right here.
The disc is not short of extra features, with interviews, behind the scenes footage, the Cannes Film Festival press conference from 2002, deleted scenes and more.
The synopsis for the film reads as follows…
Chaos lurks in every corner of this giddily off-kilter foray into romantic comedy by Paul Thomas Anderson. Struggling to cope with his erratic temper, novelty-toilet-plunger salesman Barry Egan (Adam Sandler, demonstrating remarkable versatility in his first dramatic role) spends his days collecting frequent-flier-mile coupons and dodging the insults of his seven sisters. The promise of a new life emerges when Barry inadvertently attracts the affection of a mysterious woman named Lena (Emily Watson), but their budding relationship is threatened when he falls prey to the swindling operator of a phone sex line and her deranged boss (played with maniacal brio by Philip Seymour Hoffman). Fueled by the careening momentum of a baroque-futurist score by Jon Brion, the Cannes-award-winning Punch-Drunk Love channels the spirit of classic Hollywood and the whimsy of Jacques Tati into an idiosyncratic ode to the delirium of new romance.
Pre-orders are live for it right now.
