Presented in 70mm!
Bob Ferguson is: a former revolutionary with the French 75, a self-described “drug and alcohol lover”, a single father to 16-year-old Willa (Chase Infiniti), and above all, a classic cinematic buffoon who has righteousness on his side but not much else. As embodied by Leonardo DiCaprio in a brilliant comic and tender performance, Bob is on the run— pursued by his past and by the vindictive Col. Stephen J. Lockjaw (an amazing Sean Penn)—while chasing his own daughter as she grows up and is drawn into the precarious world that he once inhabited. DiCaprio and Infiniti are supported by a volcanic Teyana Taylor as Willa’s MIA mother Perfidia Beverly Hills and Benicio del Toro as the calm and centered Sensei Sergio St. Carlos, and Anderson drops these characters into an epic story that sprawls across California and its unique alchemy of conspiracy and independence. The result is one of the best films of the year, and one that Paul Thomas Anderson originally shot in VistaVision and will be presented in 70mm at the Hammer Museum.
2025. USA. Written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Inspired by the novel Vineland by Thomas Pynchon. With Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Chase Infiniti, Benicio del Toro. 70mm courtesy Warner Brothers. 161 min.
