Although barrels of positive ink have already been spilled over Paul Thomas Anderson‘s oil-rich film There Will Be Blood — “masterpiece” from Slate, “bears comparison to the greatest achievements of Griffith and Ford” from David Denby — the accolades continue to flow. J. Hoberman explains why the film topped the Village Voice/LA Weekly 2007 critics poll. Matt Zoller Seitz of the NY Times traces the evolution of Anderson’s work, film by film. The Guardian sits down with Anderson for a Q&A. The Museum of the Moving Image is knee-deep in a PT Anderson retrospective.

But strangest of all is this unlikely story, published in the Miami Herald, which bears resemblance to the climax of Anderson’s 1999 film Magnolia: “It rains iguanas in Florida.”
