Here is the synopsis for “Inherent Vice”:

“Inherent Vice” is the seventh feature from Paul Thomas Anderson and the first-ever film adaption of a Thomas Pynchon novel.

When private eye Doc Sportello’s (Joaquin Phoenix) ex-old lady suddenly shows up with a story about her current billionaire land developer boyfriend (whom she just happens to be in love with) and a plot by his wife and her boyfriend to kidnap that billionaire and throw him in a looney bin, well, that’s easy for her to say.

It’s the tail end of the psychedelic 1960s and paranoia is running the day. Doc knows that “love” is another of those words going around at the moment – like “trip” or “groovy” – and it’s being way too overused. This one, though, usually leads to trouble.

With a cast of characters including surfers, hustlers, dopers, rockers, a murderous loan shark, LAPD detectives, a tenor sax player working undercover and a mysterious entity known as the Golden Fang (which may only be a tax dodge set up by some dentists), “Inherent Vice” is part surf noir, part psychedelic romp and all Thomas Pynchon.

NO-SHOW POLICY
HollywoodChicago.com works hard to coordinate our giveaways for you with the movie studios. If you enter to win and are fortunate enough to be awarded, we expect you to attend. If you reply saying you can’t attend – or don’t show up at all without notifying us – that opportunity goes to waste and another lucky HollywoodChicago.com winner misses out on enjoying what you would have. We use various forms of tracking technologies to know whether or not you attended. When you win and don’t attend, reputation points will be counted against you and you’ll win less frequently. If you enter to win, please make sure you can attend if you do win. Thank you.
