Through the Haze: Fidelity of Adaptation in Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice

View through CrossRef
Many directors and writers struggle with adaptations of novels. However, Paul Thomas Anderson’s adaptation, Inherent Vice, acts as a commentary on the original work by emphasizing characters and images to embody the voice of the original author, Thomas Pynchon. This voice is accomplished through Sortilège, a character who appears briefly in the novel and is expanded to take on Pynchon’s narratorial voice. The paper engages with the use of faded imagery in the adaptation to embody drug-induced scenes and the voice of Sortilège as Pynchon, and explores how Anderson’s adaptation preserves the intoxicating haze and struggles to discover correlation and meaning.
