Wes Anderson’s ‘The French Dispatch’ opens CIFF with a brilliant, New Yorker-inspired omnibus
He is a filmmaker who has worked brilliantly within animation, specifically stop motion with Fantastic Mr. Fox and Isle of Dogs, but whose films always really do have this meticulously, detailed and constructed feel. They're almost like layer cakes designed by the most OCD cake maker Imaginable. And The French Dispatch focused on an outpost of an American newspaper that is stationed in a fictional 20th century French City, is his first film that really does feel like a collection of short stories. In a way

Hello, Isaac. I just wanted to share my excitement for the French Dispatch coming out. I've been waiting for it for ages. I adore Wes Anderson's films. I actually is like the only director where I've seen all of his films. And yeah, I would say my favorite so far are The Darjeeling Limited and The Royal Tenant Bombs. But this also sounds really exciting. I try not to look into films too much

The Grand Budapest is about so beautifully and so much about the idea of art as memory making, like even beyond the nostalgia that a lot of his films have this kind of idea that storytelling is the way that you kind of write a better history or at least write final revision of your memory in a way that I found really great. I need to go back and watch some of his films again. I definitely am curious what you would recommend as your favorite of all of his work
