Strange film, but enjoyable


This is not Paul Thomas Anderson's best film by a long shot, but it's still a gem in its own way. I never would have guessed that a film about a stoner private detective negotiating the in's and out's of a kidnapping in Los Angeles would have come from the director who gave such austere films like There Will Be Blood and The Master. This is a different concoction but he pulls it off nicely.

I should see it sometime.

There Will Be Blood is a masterpiece, but Inherent vice is more fun to watch more often. I put these 3 you mentioned in my top tier PTA films and among my all time favorites.
