Warner Bros. Pictures
presents a film written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Based on the
novel by Thomas Pynchon. Running time: 148 min. Rated R (for drug use
throughout, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and some violence).
There is a misconception
going around about Paul Thomas Anderson’s new movie “Inherent Vice” that it is
somehow similar to The Coen Brothers’ “The Big Lebowski”. While both comedies
center on a drug-addled character caught up in a noir plot the runs vastly out
of their control, this is where the similarities between the two end. A better
comparison for “Inherent Vice” might be to watching Roman Polanski’s “Chinatown”
as if you the audience were heavily sedated on barbiturates.
