Most movies take place in either the real world or a fantasy world. Some filmmakers like to blur the two, like how Tarantino's movies play out in his own version of reality, or how the Conjuring series and its spinoffs imagine a version of our world where Ed and Lorraine Warren weren't con artists but actually battled paranormal forces of evil for real. Loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel 'Vineland', Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another takes place in a version of America that overlays the 1970s on top of our current times. In Anderson's world, the organised left-wing revolutionaries of the Nixon era still operate, freeing migrants from detainment camps, pulling off bank robberies in the manner of the Symbionese Liberation Army, and blowing up federal buildings like the far right militia of '80s America.

The sky is rarely glowering, but it does seem full; ready to have something to say, or wrapping up something that it is busy saying. The canopy of foliage that hangs over the streetcorners feels saturated with moisture. Even the shadows on the sidewalk are puddle blue. Businesses have their umbrellas open. A few people do, too.
