On Saturday night, Los Angeles' Ace Hotel held a screening of Paul Thomas Anderson's 2002 film Punch-Drunk Love. The screening featured a live score from Jon Brion, who helmed the movie's score and soundtrack, and the Wordless Musical Orchestra. During the closing credits, Joanna Newsom joined to perform "He Really Needs Me" from the soundtrack. Watch it below.

Punch-Drunk Love will screen live once again on March 19 at New York's Brooklyn Academy of Music. Brion will perform with the Wordless Musical Orchestra at the event.

Last year, Anderson directed two videos for Newsom: "Sapokanikan" and "Divers" from Divers. In 2014, Newsom appeared in Anderson's film Inherent Vice. She also narrated its trailer.

Newsom will head back out on tour in support of Divers soon.
