Punch-Drunk Love is a very unexpected mix of palpably uncomfortable anxiety-ridden drama, frilly romance, and absurdist comedy that comes incredibly, incredibly close to imploding in on itself by becoming a wild mess – but there’s just enough ambiguity to its strangeness to blur these cracks over and make it a really lovely trip. Any primary color focused design drives me wild too, and despite its simpler ambitions I have much smaller problems with Punch-Drunk Love than There Will Be Blood or Boogie Nights.
