After leaving NYU’s film program after only two days, Anderson made a short film called Cigarettes and Coffee with the money he had intended to spend on his tuition. The film garnered significant attention at the 1993 Sundance Film Festival, eventually paving the way for him to make his feature debut, Hard Eight (1996). The next year, he released Boogie Nights, launching his career in earnest and earning him an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay he would go on to be nominated for the award again two years later for Magnolia and for Adapted Screenplay for both There Will Be Blood (2007) and Inherent Vice (2014).

Inherent Vice tells storie and minorities, capitalis and America at large... In a California beach community, private detective Doc Sportello tends to work his cases through a smoky haze of marijuana. One day, a former lover, comes out of the blue to plead for Doc’s help; it seems that her current beau, real-estate tycoon Mickey Wolfmann, has a wife who may be plotting to commit him to a mental hospital. When Mickey and Shasta both go missing, Doc navigates a world of surfers, stoners and cops to solve the case. 2 .0 INHERENT VICE

the paragraph above resembles reality – much less our world of iPhones and internet. Inherent Vice tells stories about race and minorities, capitalism and inequality, and America at large, a bit like how John Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath has plenty to say about the modern US from the vantage point of the 1930s. Steinbeck said everything loudly and simply; Pynchon says most of it indirectly – through pop culture allusions in Vineland, latitude lines and a pot-smoking George Washington in Mason & Dixon, and actual rocket science in Gravity’s Rainbow. With this in mind, the background and bit players of Inherent Vice take on a little more depth than their weird names suggest. Recent memories of the 1965 Watts race riots keep tensions high between conservative whites and black characters, and the story occasionally looks about ready to veer into the territory of militant black power groups and gangs of

Punch-Drunk Love is abo sudden, unsettling erupt self-knowledge into his Although susceptible to violent outbursts, bathroom supply business owner Barry Egan is a timid and shy man by disposition, leading a lonely, uneventful life partly due to the constant berating he suffers from his seven sisters. However, several events transpire that shake up Egan’s mundane existence, one of which is falling in love with one sister’s co-worker, Lena Leonard. But the romance is threatened when Egan falls victim to an extortionist.

tion of the Earth itself. And it is all inscribed in the story of the movie’s leading character, a man with the Bunyanesque name of Daniel Plainview. Daniel Day-Lewis gives perhaps the greatest, certainly the most exotic performance of his career as an oil prospector in the early 20th century, rewarded with colossal wealth that never gives him the smallest pleasure and serves only to amplify the loneliness, paranoia and resentment that were there from the very beginning. Day-Lewis seems to have unlocked this character’s mystery by seizing on a voice: a robust, cantankerous Scots-Irish accent that he has modified from John Huston (a borrowing that itself may have a subtextual reminder of Huston directing The Treasure of the Sierra Madre). As a poor man, Plainview is seen hacking fanatically away in a silver mine, to the accompaniment of an eerie, atonal score by Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood: he accidentally discovers oil, like the apes at the beginning of Kubrick’s 2001 discovering their opposable thumbs. 35
