indeed, this is paul thomas anderson's film licorice pizza based on his recollections and also the recollections of a friend who was a child star and they went on to become active as a producer. —— a bit of an entrepreneur and a producer. and it stars cooper hoffman, son of philip seymour hoffman who worked with paul thomas anderson a lot before he passed away, and in this movie, he plays gary, who is 15 years old and he thinks it's a good idea to chat up a woman of 25 who is here played by alana haim, so the basic premise of will they, won't they becomes a conventional friendship developing over time and it's a kind of episodic structure as you can see with a lot of cameos from the likes of bradley cooper and some of the characters are based on real life and some are not. there is a kind of hollywood personality in this, sean penn pops up, so it's got an unusual structure but it's a very light touch for paul thomas anderson. i think it's one of his lighterfilms.
