<-- back It's impossible to turn a Pynchon novel into a Hollywood movie. That's a rule, and to this day, Inherent Vice remains the only, lucky exception. It doesn't try too hard to be a singular film -- it takes place in the same cinematic universe as The Big Sleep, Zabriskie Point, The Long Goodbye, Chinatown or The Big Lebowski -- but it doesn't try too hard to follow Hollywood tradition either. It's set in the long, dark comedown from the Summer of Love, Los Angeles in 1970, a world illuminated by a warm but fading afterglow of sex and revolution, a constellation of characters driven by rebellion, fear, paranoia, criminal ambition and short bursts of melancholy, a storyline punctured by strange little loops and occasional flashbacks. The result is a downtempo swirl of a detective film, a sad, mostly subtle, then at times hilariously unsubtle comedy, and probably the only truly great stoner noir in the history of cinema. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sunday august 27 9 pm inherent vice paul thomas anderson 2014, 148 min pirate cinema berlin u kottbusser tor e-mail for directions -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- () >< pirate cinema berlin www.piratecinema.org <-- back |
