We gaan het niet onder stoelen of banken steken: Vertigo kijkt uit naar Inherent Vice, de nieuwe film van het Amerikaanse regietalent Paul Thomas Anderson. Daarom gingen we op Twitter eens kijken naar de eerste reacties op de Thomas Pynchon-verfilming.

Inherent Vice – Far out, man. Smoke-filled mesmerizing mystery unfurls like Chinatown with lots & lots of pot. Good times. Wait, where am I?

Aside from Joaquin Phoenix & Josh Brolin, my favorite part of Inherent Vice is its soundtrack. Oh and all the pot. All of it. And the music. — Alex Billington (@firstshowing) 4 oktober 2014

Inherent Vice is very committed California stoner noir. It will yield some interesting critical writing. This tweet is not an example of it. — Mark Harris (@MarkHarrisNYC) 4 oktober 2014

One of the most fascinating aspects of INHERENT VICE is its faithfulness to the source material. — erickohn (@erickohn) 4 oktober 2014

Thing I loved about Inherent Vice is, while being uproariously funny etc, it’s a proper, meaty, *difficult* film. Audience has to step up. — Robbie Collin (@robbiereviews) 5 oktober 2014

Inherent Vice: Anderson awkwardly, aloofly ambles across an arid abyss. Amazing ambience! An achievement, absolutely. — Aaahh!!!ndreas (@astoehr) 4 oktober 2014

It’s probably a great idea to smoke a bowl before seeing “Inherent Vice.” — Kristopher Tapley (@kristapley) 4 oktober 2014

The narrative of “Inherent Vice” is neither cryptic nor incoherent. it’s just doled out in a scattershot way, which is typical of Pynchon.

INHERENT VICE: pta’s “The Long Good High” is a sweet & strung-out noir odyssey of loneliness in a capitalist nightmare. low-key nirvana.
