I don't know that it's less accessible than The Master. The Master is very off-putting, odd, and unsettling from the get-go. Inherent Vice eventually becomes that, but it's also very funny for much of it's run-time and plays off of classic detective tropes. Phoenix plays Doc as very "Dude-like" but it'd probably double-feature better with The Long Goodbye than it would The Big Lebowski.

How much like The Long Goodbye is Inherent Vice? I watched TLG for the first time a month or two ago, and found the whole thing pretty insufferable once Marlowe's cat left the movie.

I remember hearing a story about some classic noir film where the filmmakers suddenly realized they had no idea who killed a certain character or why. So they called the author of the book the film was based on and asked him and he said he had no idea.

That was the Bogart version of The Big Sleep, wasn't it?
