Paul Thomas Anderson's INHERENT VICE, from the Thomas Pynchon novel, the NYFF 2014 Centerpiece film, will debut in some cities December 12. THE DISSOLVE presents a brief preview of it currently with a photo showing a different looking Joaquim Phoenix, whose favoring by important directors (Anderson, James Gray) now makes him more than rival his beloved brother the late River. INHERENT VICE also features Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson, Reese Witherspoon, and Benicio del Toro. You will get to read about this much anticipated new film in detail first right here in the Filmleaf Festival Coverage section's NYFF 2014 thread.
