The movie was written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and stars Adam Sandler. It's generally considered Sandler's first good movie, with which I would heartily agree. (Not that I've seen that many other Adam Sandler movies -- let's just say that his brand of humor isn't my cup of tea.)
I first saw Punch-Drunk Love circa 2008, and I enjoyed it much more than I expected I would. I've seen it a few times since then, including just a couple of years ago on DVD. It's not great, but it's quite good, and I'm glad I saw it again.
Interestingly, a few theater-goers applauded the movie after it ended. That's a pretty rare occurrence in Japan. The last time I experienced that was after last year's Top Gun: Maverick.
The theater is also showing Boogie Nights (1997) and Francis Ford Coppola's latest edit of Apocalypse Now (1979), but due to bad timing I can't catch those screenings. Oh, well. At least I was able to catch this one!
