About This Movie

Chryskylodon Blues captures the peculiar atmosphere on the set of Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice. It's this documentary that sort of meanders through moments of production, revealing the offbeat energy and the chaotic charm of filmmaking. The pacing feels loose, almost like a stream of consciousness, which oddly mirrors the vibe of the film it documents. There's this focus on practical effects that feels refreshing, a nod to the craftsmanship behind the scenes that often gets overlooked. The performances by the crew, some of whom you might not recognize, have this raw quality—it's fascinating to see them in their element, creating something strange and beautiful. It stands out for its almost voyeuristic take on a world we don’t often see, making you feel like you're part of the process.
