With “The French Dispatch” now set for theaters, Anderson fans would be remiss not to explore the movies that inspired either before or after their first viewing. “‘The French Dispatch’ doubles down on it, with a freewheeling triptych of stories that make the case for his appeal by amplifying it…Closer to a French New Wave experiment than the more controlled ensemble stories in his repertoire, the movie is akin to Anderson inviting audiences into his laboratory as he mines for gold from real material, and fuses it with his homegrown artistry.” “It’s hard to imagine another living filmmaker with a style as instantly recognizable as Wes Anderson, a feat that works against him no matter how expansive his approach,” Kohn wrote. IndieWire’s Eric Kohn awarded “The French Dispatch” a B+ review out of Cannes. The movie is billed as “a love letter to journalists set at an outpost of an American newspaper in a fictional 20th century French city.” The cast includes Benicio del Toro, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Léa Seydoux, Frances McDormand, Timothée Chalamet, Lyna Khoudri, Jeffrey Wright, Mathieu Amalric, Stephen Park, Bill Murray, and Owen Wilson. After world premiering to strong reviews at the Cannes Film Festival in July, the anthology film traveled to Telluride and the New York Film Festival ahead of its theatrical release October 22. Wes Anderson’s long-awaited “The French Dispatch” is finally here.
