Thriller epic from modern-day master Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood), starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Benecio del Toro and Sean Penn. Loosely based on Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland, follows washed‑up revolutionary Bob (DiCaprio) – minding his business and living off‑grid with his daughter – when his nemesis returns after 16 years, forcing a reunion of ex‑radicals in a desperate rescue mission.
The film was shot on 35 mm film using VistaVision cameras by cinematographer Michael Bauman, marking his second collaboration with Anderson following Licorice Pizza. Also features a soundtrack by regular collaborator, composer Jonny Greenwood.
