ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Oscar nominee Paul Thomas Anderson (THERE WILL BE BLOOD, BOOGIE NIGHTS) adapts Thomas Pynchon’s acclaimed, cult-favorite detective novel in this richly funny psychedelic romp. With a cast of characters that includes surfers, hustlers, dopers, and rockers, INHERENT VICE follows Doc Sportello (Joaquin Phoenix), a private detective in late-60s Los Angeles. As he attempts to track down his ex-girlfriend (Katherine Waterston) and a plot to have her billionaire lover committed to the looney bin, Doc is thrown into a world of low-level crime and intrigue. The audacious stoner noir also stars Josh Brolin, Reese Witherspoon, and Benicio del Toro.

SYNOPSIS

In a California beach community, private detective Larry “Doc” Sportello (Joaquin Phoenix) tends to work his cases through a smoky haze of marijuana. One day, Shasta, a former lover, arrives out of the blue to plead for Doc’s help; it seems that Shasta’s current beau, rich real-estate tycoon Mickey Wolfmann, has a wife who may be plotting to commit him to a mental hospital. When Mickey and Shasta both disappear, Doc navigates a psychedelic world of surfers, stoners and cops to solve the case.
