Imagine you are pretending to be Sherlock Holmes for the day. But instead of being a British detective, you are a degenerate living in a California beach town pretending to be a private investigator.
Now also imagine you have a movie about yourself but the entire viewing experience is actually a depiction of you being so stoned or fucked up that you are actually browning out.
That’s Inherent Vice in a nutshell.
This was an extremely difficult to follow stream of detective work that seems to mimic how your brain functions after you had a few too many joints.
At some points you feel locked in and as if all your thoughts are clear. The next thing you know you are trying to understand why a golden tooth holds the key to every mystery that has ever been presented to you.
This back and forth between clarity and chaos also lends for some interruptions for emotion. No matter the level of sobriety, your longing for loved ones that you are with, or in the case of the movie, ones you have lost, find a way to creep into the forefront of the mind.
