One Battle After Another is a masterpiece. In this video essay, I discuss why Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another is a masterpiece of modern cinema that perfectly blends a satirical action film with a chaotic political story.
One Battle After Another is a 2025 American epic action thriller film written, produced, and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. It is inspired by the 1990 novel Vineland by Thomas Pynchon. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti (in her film debut), and follows an ex-revolutionary (DiCaprio) who must rescue his daughter (Infiniti) from a corrupt military official (Penn).
