Paul Thomas Anderson | 2014 | USA | 2h28m | English audio and subtitles | 10-minute intermission
INHERENT VICE is Paul Thomas Anderson’s hallucinatory farewell to the fading counterculture of late 1960s California.
The film follows a permanently stoned private investigator drifting through a labyrinth of missing persons cases, real estate conspiracies, cult activity, and political paranoia. Narrative clarity dissolves as the story moves deeper into confusion, distraction, and institutional opacity.
Beneath the comedy and disorientation lies a melancholic reflection on the collapse of utopian ideals. The optimism of the 1960s gives way to corporate consolidation, state surveillance and cultural exhaustion. Joaquin Phoenix anchors the film with a performance defined by warmth, confusion, and emotional vulnerability. INHERENT VICE becomes both detective story and elegy, capturing a moment when political hope quietly evaporated.
