Director: Paul Thomas Anderson
Starring: Jacqueline Phoenix / Reese Witherspoon / Benicio del Toro / Owen Wilson / Gina Malone / Josh Brolin
Release: 2014-12-12
As early as December 2010, Anderson was interested in adapting Thomas Pynchon's "Sex Is Evil", but due to the early funding of another new film, "The Master", "Sex is Evil" was temporarily shelved. "Sex is Evil" has a shell similar to Chandler's detective novel, where Los Angeles private investigator Doc meets his ex-girlfriend Shasta unexpectedly, and hears from her an unsubstantiated story, a bizarre kidnapping case, and the victim — her current lover — is a "billionaire" real estate developer. Doc knew that "love" was a vague word that would cause a string of trouble at any time, or whether the ghost had crashed into Shasta's story and was getting deeper and deeper, surfers, pimps, drug dealers, rock musicians, usurers who committed murders, people of all kinds, etc., looming...
Paul Thomas Anderson's new work after "The Master" is undoubtedly the expectation of this year's literary film Youth of the Year. The work is from Thomas Pynchon's novel of the same name.
