Saw this a couple of nights ago at the AFI, and... well, it was kind of a mistake. That isn't to say I thought it was bad (it's really well done), or that I didn't enjoy myself (I very much did), but it just felt like I missed a lot of details I might have missed, having not read the book at all. I'm going to have to see it again, with the benefit of a pause and rewind button. (And subtitles; Phoenix was great, but he mumbles, drat it!) But my overall impression is that it's a fascinating experience in which everything (director, writer, actors, soundtrack, cin-tog, etc) contributed positively to the overall picture, which while I cannot confirm is Pynchon-ian, was a drat treat to watch. In the meantime, perhaps I will track down the book, as reading Pynchon has been something I've had on my to-do list for a while. Unless there's another of his works that might be better for a first timer?...
