By Zack Witzel Alana Haim hails from the San Fernando Valley. It's her house. So, sweating in the streets of 1973 California as twentysomething Alana Kane in Licorice Pizza, Paul Thomas Anderson’s naturalistic new film about the frenetic, ephemeral magic of youth? Totally normal.

Haim's relationship with renowned filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson began in 2016 with a live in-studio video for their song "Right Now" which was released the following year. Anderson produced several Haim projects over the months, including the beautifully choreographed "Little of Your Love" music video, a live version of "Night So Long" shot at Los Angeles' Greek Theatre, and a short documentary about their second album, Something to Tell You called Valentine. This partnership was fruitful, and Danielle, Ester, and Alana kept it alive by allowing Anderson to produce stunning graphics for their forthcoming album, Women in Music Pt. I'm sure you did too. Fortunately, this partnership has shown no signs of ending, as Anderson's new feature film trailer shows. The film is called Licorice Pizza and stars none other than Alana Haim in the lead role, appearing alongside Cooper Hoffman, the late actor and frequent Anderson collaborator Philip Seymour Hoffman. It's adorable.
