By the way, to my mind, the two closest cinematic
analogues to the work of Pynchon are 

1)  Terry Gilliam's _Brazil_

2) Antonioni's _Blow-Up_, maybe the masterpiece of '60s cinema.

I would like to add two films to this list:

1) Roman Polanski's _The Tenant_

2) Joseph Losey's _Mr. Klein_

These two films both deal with the concept of the paranoid's search
(equivalent to _V._ or _COL49_), and are both excellent works of suspense
filmmaking.
