Written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, who was also the co-cinematographer, Licorice Pizza is about a teenage actor and a young woman who fall in love in the 1970s in LA’s San Fernando Valley.
It stars Alana Haim, Cooper Hoffman, Bradley Cooper, Sean Penn, Tom Waits, and Benny Safdie. It presents a teen’s view of the same era whose seedier side Anderson had explored in Boogie Nights. The trailer looks absolutely stunning, playful, and even funny.
Although plot details are almost non-existent, it can be understood that it is going to be a slice-of-life love story about awkward teens, Alana Kane (played by Alana Haim) and Gary Valentine (played by Brandley Cooper).
We see them go through adolescence, and there is also a lot of teenage numbskullery in the trailer, putting Anderson’s taste for outcast humor on full display. Also, if you are wondering what the context of the title is, Licorice Pizza is not a weird food combination but a very informal way of saying vinyl records.
