THE FRENCH DISPATCH
I finally watched Wes Anderson’s latest film, THE FRENCH DISPATCH (trailer here), when it showed up on PVOD services last month, and can report that both Anderson connoisseurs and newbies will be beyond amused with this masterpiece. The film showcases Anderson’s renowned idiosyncratic aesthetic and directorial approach: meticulous compositions, an exquisite color palette, satisfying symmetry, and explosive dialogue with dark humor.
Structured as a series of anthologies, the film follows journalists from an American magazine who write about historical events in a fictitious French city. I’ll stop there. Because I could write a 20-page essay about how magnificent this movie is, but I will leave it for you to discover. Grab your snacks and thank me later!
