Vineland is a postmodern novel by Thomas Pynchon set in California in 1984, the year of President Ronald Reagan's reelection. Through flashbacks, its characters, who lived through the 1960s, account for the free spirit of rebellion of that decade, and describe the traits of the "fascistic Nixonian repression" and the war on drugs that clashed with it. The book portrays transformations in U.S. society from the 1960s to the 1980s. It is the basis for the 2025 film One Battle After Another by director Paul Thomas Anderson. The film's ensemble cast is led by Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti. One Battle After Another received widespread critical acclaim and numerous accolades. It received thirteen nominations at the 98th Academy Awards and won six Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor (Penn), and Best Casting, becoming the inaugural recipient for the latter. It also received one win from a record seven nominations at the 32nd Actor Awards, three wins at the 31st Critics' Choice Awards, including Best Picture, four wins at the 83rd Golden Globes, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, and six wins at the 79th British Academy Film Awards, including Best Film. The film was also listed by the American Film Institute as one of the top ten films of 2025 and won five awards from the National Board of Review, including Best Film.
