“The Master” has been dubbed Joaquin Phoenix’s grand comeback and it’s with good reason this happens: from the promo material released so far, this film promises to be truly something else.

The same goes for this newly released clip, meant to promote a 70mm screening that will take place today, September 10, at the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz location in downtown Austin, TX.

It shows Freddie Quell (Phoenix) taking a psych test, which pretty much reveals the only thing on his mind.

Because of strong language, we can’t embed the video here but you can find it on YouTube. However, *be advised that discretion is recommended when viewing it.

Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, “The Master” also stars Amy Adams and Philip Seymour Hoffman, and will be out in theaters in October this year.
