Phantom Thread (2017) - breakfast / poisonous mushroom scene
1. the breakfast scene in Phantom Thread (2017) – when alma orders exactly what she wants and reynolds just sits there, quietly unraveling. it’s just eggs and tea, but it turns into this subtle power play about control, desire, and who’s actually in charge.
2. when alma subtly folds those poisonous mushrooms into the omelet, it’s weirdly tender and terrifying st once. cooking becomes control, intimacy, and a kind of dark devotion. it’s not just about making him sick — it’s about reshaping the relationship through something as domestic and ordinary as dinner.

“The most legendary breakfast order captured on film? Welsh rarebit with a poached egg on top, not too runny...and bacon... scones, butter, cream, jam (not strawberry)... pot of lapsang...and some sausages.”

“The toast gets me every time”

“How on earth I missed this one for the collection who knows. This is one of the most beautiful movies ever, centered around creativity and creative output. Not just the mastery of craft or creativity’s importance in society but a true look into the depths, often painful and unpredictable, of those doing the creative work and the conditions they require to do so.”
