Director Paul Thomas Anderson curated a film marathon for the wedding of Este Haim and Jonathan Levin.
The Haim bassist wed tech entrepreneur Levin in California on December 31, at a ceremony attended by Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks among others. On New Year’s Day, several celebrities would join the happy couple for a 16-hour movie marathon, curated by Paul Thomas Anderson.
The filmmaker, currently on the awards circuit with his celebrated film One Battle After Another, cast Este Haim as the lead in his 2021 drama Licorice Pizza, and chose six movies for guests to enjoy.
The marathon started at 9am with cult 1984 sci-fi comedy Repo Man, before a duo of cinematic classics in the form of romantic drama Casablanca, and Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon.
Martin Scorsese’s 1995 mob drama Casino played from 5-8pm, and the lineup ended with a double bill of comedies – Robin Williams farce The Birdcage, and the appropriately-themed Steve Martin hit Father Of The Bride. A sign with the listed lineup was shared on social media, with the final film finishing at 1am on January 2.

According to Page Six, all six films were screened on 35mm film at California’s Ojai Playhouse. Guests at the cinema reportedly included Ke$ha, Donald Glover, and Este’s siblings/bandmates, Danielle and Alana. Anderson was also said to be in attendance along with his wife, Bridesmaids star Maya Rudolph.
Haim’s last album was ‘I Quit’, which was given a four-star review by NME. “They’re no longer the pop group you once knew,” writes Kristen S. Hé, “but this record is proof that
sometimes, you really do need to let go in order to grow.”
The album also featured in NME’s list of the Best Albums of 2025, with single ‘Relationships’ making the Best Songs of the year list.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another is tipped to win big during awards season. In NME’s four-star review, James Mottram wrote: “Thank the lord this $130m barmy blockbuster exists… it’s a mad stir of America’s melting pot on the cusp of boiling over.”
