The best events in Toronto this weekend: December 15-17

The P.T. Anderson 35mm Picture Show 

Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread, a romantic drama set in the London fashion world of the 1950s, is making a big impact on critics’ year-end lists but Torontonians won’t get to see the film until it opens on January 5. Fortunately, the Royal Cinema has stepped up its holiday programming game with a retrospective of four Anderson films – his 1996 debut Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Magnolia and There Will Be Blood – projected in 35mm. The series kicks off Friday (December 15) with Hard Eight, the Reno-set noir about a pro gambler who takes a protege under his wing. The cast includes Philip Baker Hall, John C. Reilly, Gwyneth Paltrow and Samuel L. Jackson. The other movies will screen over three weekends through January 13.

At Royal Cinema, 608 College. December 15. $10-$14, four-film pass $40. theroyal.to.
