Paul Thomas Anderson's 4th feature, PUNCH DRUNK LOVE, is an off-kilter romantic comedy of erratic novelty salesman Barry (Adam Sandler) who lives in the shadow of his seven overbearing sisters. Unlucky in love, an out-of-the-blue introduction to a mysterious woman (Emily Watson) coincides with the fortuitous discovery of a flaw within the conditions of a travel competition which could change Barry's life for the better.

Winner of Best Director at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival.
