MAGNOLIA (1999)

Is it two stories or one? Is it nine main characters, or two? In a film that intersects and exposes the lives of nine different people who are somehow interconnected as they live out their lives in individual yet parallel fashion. "Magnolia's" intensely unique vision and surprising conclusion only strengthen a storyline that slowly unwraps and folds in on itself over the span of three hours until, in the end, all the main characters find themselves suddenly on the same page.

The cast includes: Tom Cruise, Julianne Moore, and William H. Macy.

Written and directed by: Paul Thomas Anderson.
