DETAILS
On April 20th, Neon Dreams will team up with Layered Butter for a special 35mm presentation of Paul Thomas Anderson’s delirious, stoner odyssey Inherent Vice.
Described by Anderson as his take on “a Cheech & Chong movie,” Inherent Vice is faithfully adapted from the much celebrated, darkly comic ’70s-set novel by Thomas Pynchon. Joaquin Phoenix plays hippie private detective “Doc” Sportello, who stumbles his way through sunny California in a haze of confusion and dope smoke while trying to make sense of a missing persons case. Densely plotted while remaining loose and freewheeling, it fits perfectly alongside Licorice Pizza as one of Anderson’s funniest, zaniest, and undoubtedly grooviest projects.
Much like The Big Lebowski, Inherent Vice has become only more appreciated over time. Join us in celebrating this cult classic in a way that most of us never had the opportunity—with a room full of enthusiastic fans. Whether you’re an “herbalist” or not, this will be a 4/20 to remember, and one you won’t be able to recreate at home. – BRENDAN ROSS
