The French Dispatch (2021)
https://movieweb.com/the-french-dispatc ... -preimere/2021 Cannes Film Festival announces The French Dispatch to it's line-up, marking the premiere of Wes Anderson's first film since Isle of Dogs. The film is now scheduled to premiere at this year's Festival de Cannes, which will take place July 6 to 17.
My most anticipated movie of the year. I need more than ever the slightly tragic, melancholic and weirdly funny plots & protagonists of Wes Anderson.
Mine as well. The trailer is amazing. The colors, can we talk about the COLORS! They are so varied and well-composed/utilized. The shot of Benicio Del Toro tossing the color dust is sublime. Can't wait!X-MementoMori-X wrote: ↑April 28th, 2021, 1:42 pmhttps://movieweb.com/the-french-dispatc ... -preimere/2021 Cannes Film Festival announces The French Dispatch to it's line-up, marking the premiere of Wes Anderson's first film since Isle of Dogs.

We just need a date for when this hits the world outside of Cannes....
Cannes won't be online this year, right?

It premiered finally in Cannes. Someone on letterboxd called it "Wes Andersons Buster Scruggs". I love Busters Scruggs. I love anthology films. I love french culture. I love Wes Anderson. Can't wait for autumn

Really great.
A great improvement after Isle of dogs which felt a little disappointing to me, after GBH.
Is it better than GBH? Hard to say, I need to rewatch it, but I can very much see it becoming my favourite Wes'. It doesn't have a great plot like GBH, but instead has many plots, and overall the plots are not as interesting as the way they are told. The film expresses its theme more through its form than its plot, which doesn't mean that it is emotionless. On the contrary, many shots are filled with emotions, escpecially when the color suddenly appears to make a shot more moving :very mild spoilers:
And there are some beautiful conversations that are deeply moving between
Honestly you can click on "spoiler", you won't watch it for the plot .
In terms of cast, obviously they're all good (duh). It's really nice to see Del Toro and Chalamet directed that way. In one scene Ronan shows why she's one of the best.
Also would like to highlight Wright and Seydoux.
This is Seydoux's month for me.

Really loved this, definitely a huge step back from Isle of Dogs. Personal preference, I really wish he kept color the entire film, as I always loved Wes' colors
Very very good. Wish it had more of an emotional punch though.
