The French Dispatch (Wes Anderson, October 22, 2021) Movie • Page 10

Anyone else feel like the middle story was difficult to follow?

 

Saw this tonight and loved it. Pretty immediately one of my favorites of his.

 

This was great. Probably one of my favorites of his as well. Enjoyed all the stories, but I think I'd rank them 1 > 3 > 2. I was able to follow the dialog enough to understand most of what was going on, but it's dense and moves so fast that I felt like I was trying to keep pace for a lot of it.

 

Might be Anderson's worst. Vignette style films are always a tough sell.

 

Seeing it tomorrow.

 

Movie of the year. Loved everything about it. Every frame is a joy to look at.

 

Also, if they don’t eventually print this actual magazine issue as for purchase as a book, I will riot.

 

The French Dispatch

This really puts into words how disappointing everything has been since The Royal Tenenbaums. It is all too manicured, too groomed.

 

hearing that he initially wanted to be an architect makes too much sense with everything from moonrise on. lots of highly curated sets and next to no character development or plot

 

First movie to get me back into the theatre since Covid. Loved it, but I love (almost) everything he has done.

 

Can't wait to see it again when it drops on blu-ray

 

This was awesome and I think will hold up really well with rewatches.

 

the "politics, culture, true crime, false crime..." line got me good. sounded like something from the simpsons.

 

Damn I absolutely loved this.

 

I loved this. Loooved it. loved it

 

I didn’t get to see it last week and it looks like it’s gone already

 

absolutely lost it at the phrase Flop Quarter of Ennui and "a weakness in cartography the curse of the homosexual" , plus Moses being Mexican and Jewish, I know he's always a bit much but damn
also very funny that it's dedicated to Wallace Shawn's dad but he isn't in it, guess him and Balaban being in the same movie would cause a vortex
the Chalamet/McDormand stuff was icky , he didn't need to be 19
Jeffrey Wright was delightful

I know his movies are always stacked but I can't process that Owen Wilson, Henry Winkler, Elizabeth Moss, WIllem Dafoe, Tony Revolori, Edward Norton, Christoph Waltz, Jason Schwartzmann and Saoirse Ronan all have blink and you'd miss it appearances

 

Gotta respect how determined he is to make each progressive film more and more Wes Anderson-y

 

holy hell this was outstanding. it looked absolutely magical.

side note i giggled with absolute glee when Henry Winkler popped up

 

I dozed off several times.

 

i enjoyed this film

 

Bottle Rocket isn't his best movie by any stretch. It's a great movie but it's not even top 5 for Wes.

 

of course it is lol. it isn't his best but he only has 10 films. it is absolutely in the top half.
