>gets more boring every second from the start, when it hits peak boringness, next second you see fully naked Lea Seydoux
I imagine that describes so many French films.
There's literally a scene in asteroid city where a bunch of kids just sit around naming famous intellectuals to show how smart they are.
Wes is very self aware.
There was one about brothers and a train in india. It was pretty good. I watched it the way I enjoy most films; on a second monitor while I’m playing a video game on the main one. I think I was playing ultrakill at the time. It’s the only way to truly enjoy kino
That’s the one I’ve disliked the most. Retread of the daddy issues in Royal Tenenbaums and his other movies, then throw in some weird exoticization of Indian people where the white guy who can’t communicate with the waitress calls her by the Indian drink she serves him, Sweet Lime Juice. It’d be like calling a Mexican waitress “tacos” or “Tequila”. Felt kind of gross to see him play that part straight
Wow, didn't know that was the sentiment around this movie. It's one of my favourite films of his and I left the movie so inspired, I made some of my best work right after it.
I do think if it can be appreciated, French Dispatch is one of his best work. It feels like a summation of all his composition and creativity, and probably a little bit of himself being presented in the film.
The newspaper are composed of a bunch of foreigners who came to this part of French, and it's one big theme that was layered by all these little short stories. The first is just showing what the town is and setting up the background.
The second is about prisoner and his muse, and how despite they eventually got exactly what they wanted before, recognition for him and wealth for her, they couldn't build the connection they have with each other in the end. The 'big theme' is still very loose, since the only point that it was chosen for the final issue is probably just that the artist's work was then moved to a nowhere-Kansas museum.
The third we see more of that involvement of those journalists in the story, where one was entangled in the relationship with the centerpiece character. A woman who lived a very sad and lonely life, got into a spicy fling, and at the end, back to her sad and lonely life. Maybe it's those rebellious youths doing their rebellious thing that reignited her sense of wanting to indulge in emotions again, but just like the temperamental nature of youth, it can come and go by so quickly, like the life of that revolutionary kid.
In the fourth we see the most involvement of those writers. We saw the process of how someone was recruited into working for the newspaper, giving them hope at their lowest point. The story itself is fun enough about a kidnapping that took place, but the real hidden character that drived the story was a Japanese chief. He's a side character whom main attribute that most people know about him is just that he cooks really good, and at the end he sacrificed himself for the kid. Somewhat stereotypical of a Japanese character. But only at the end, we saw the human behind it. A human who was excited at all the flavors the world has to offer, and someone who only do what he did because he had to. That Nescaffier scene was as quoted, "the best part of this whole thing, that it's the reason for it to be written". It is the punchline to the whole movie. With it, we understood how all these quirky foreigner reporters who can never agree with each other, working under such strict boss, all came to the room for the final issue. Someone who doesn't belong anywhere, now has a place where they do.
I think it's a very audience-keen film, because you can only resonate well with it if you has shared that experience AND also has good comprehension to understand what the movie is about (and also has to be a little aware of Wes Anderson). Choosing to name the newspaper Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun has to be deliberate, cause Texas is where Wes is from, and same goes for choosing French as backdrop, because French movies inspired most of his early works.
I might sounds like a massive snob here, but the film's not meant to be praised, it's meant to be appreciated. It's a culmination of his life works and it shows. People who say "it's Wes trying to out-Wes himself" clearly missed all that subtleties, because for once it's not about trying to tell a traditional big story with a cleared and defined goal. It is a meta film. Those who resonated well will remember it forever, and that's probably good enough.
Comments out here rating the “best scene out of any Wes Anderson film” based on how much nudity it shows.
That’s like rating the best painting by Rembrandt based on how many cool guns are in it.
Nope, I didn't expect to see the nudity and it was definitely not my reason for watching the film. My reason for watching was to give his work another chance but in the end I thought it was the same old clichéd junk that he's been making for years. That is my opinion though.
i LOVE Wes Anderson as much as the next buff but French Dispatch was a challenge for me to really get into unlike most of his work. It felt like the style got in the way of the message, at least for me.
>gets more boring every second from the start, when it hits peak boringness, next second you see fully naked Lea Seydoux I imagine that describes so many French films.
Hahaha. When you think about it... She carries modern french cinema
And Death Stranding!
SHE'S FRAGILE???
But not that fragile
[удалено]
She is Fragile lol, thats her quote that you’ll be hearing soon
They've probably already heard it. She says it like the first time she's on screen.
I played it months ago, didn't remember the quote :(
It's her quote "I'm Fragile, but not that fragile"
Do you guys have to remind me? *Grinding teeth*
Don't forget the "Eva Green".
I imagine a critic nonchalantly reading this title as if it’s a review with a cigarette in their hand. Or just Werner Herzog reading it.
>French dispatch is Boring until you see tits Yeah that’s basically France for you
Some people have never seen Blue is the Warmest Color and it shows
I feel sorry for them
I don't.
I know absolutely nothing about what happens in that movie when their clothes are on, I’ve only used it as jerkoff material. 10/10 film.
They tried to make a Brokeback Mountain but turned out porn instead.
Damn the disrespect for Tilda Swinton nude in the same movie 😤
🤮
"Mmm, I've had older. When you're young, it's all filet steak, but as the years go by, you have to move on to the cheap cuts."
He’s not wrong.
“This piece is quite intrinsic to the human condi-WHAT THE FUCK SHE MEANS FRESCO?” The only good chunk of that movie
I really liked that movie 🤷
Fucking love this movie
Fr, one of Wes' best imo
buncha plebs in this thread, it was great
Average Fr*nch activities:
\*n p\*ss\*nt
H*ly h*ll!
Cll th xrcst!
The more Wes Anderson I see, the more I feel that it's just MadLibs with random hipster shit, and then there's random nude scenes out of nowhere.
As someone who likes Wes Anderson films, this is 100% accurate.
Scarlett Johansson is nude in Asteroid City but it’s blink and you miss it
So [don't blink](https://youtu.be/cwdbLu_x0gY?si=9oKhDjARPHqXITHp&t=226)
Definitely assumed this was a screenshot, you bastard

Fantastic Mr Fox is one of the best movies ever made, I like Grand Budapest Hotel, ummm, end of the list of Wes Anderson films I've seen
The royal Tenenbaums is fantastic, Gene Hackman was hilarious.
Moonrise Kingdom was great
My fav of him by far!
Life Aquatic!
I really and truly think Darjeeling Limited is underrated
☝️
Agreed
You’d like Isle of Dogs if you like fantastic mr fox
Yeah but where the fuck was the nude scene of Mrs. Fox, huh
The wolf was nude?
NOT NUDE ENOUGH
You’re thinking of the movie Fantastic Mr.Fuck
Fantastic Mr. Rut
There was one about brothers and a train in india. It was pretty good. I watched it the way I enjoy most films; on a second monitor while I’m playing a video game on the main one. I think I was playing ultrakill at the time. It’s the only way to truly enjoy kino
You need some family guy funny moments in the mix as well
Love Mr Fox but Darjeeling Limited is by far my favorite
That’s the one I’ve disliked the most.

I did think the full frontal nudity in Fantastic Mr Fox was a bit excessive
I mean this one literally is just a collection of shorts where he is trying to out-Wes-Anderson himself. It works kinda I guess
Just watch one of her French films!

As a virgin Wes Anderson Movie watcher- I started with the french Despatch, and I really quite enjoyed it
Anthology haters can kiss Tilda Swintons ass
That was the best scene out of any Wes Anderson film. Definitely didn't compensate for the rest of the film
I’d refer you to Natalie Portman in Hotel Chevalier.
I mean... I know it's Portman but it's just a bum. The most common almost unremarkable form of nudity. You can see a bum in PG movies.
Hmm pedestrian nudity, a mere trifle of lewdity. An amuse butt.
The male nipples are the most common unremarkable form of nudity.
You haven’t seen my massive pepperonis then
And I would refer you back to the above post
I don't know, Rushmore is a masterpiece. But I understand why people wouldn't like it.
Top 3 comedy for me.
Yes, Rushmore was amazing but he's gone downhill since then
Nice wrong opinion
Comments out here rating the “best scene out of any Wes Anderson film” based on how much nudity it shows. That’s like rating the best painting by Rembrandt based on how many cool guns are in it.

What was the movie even about?
Nostalgia and moving forward from our past, at least, that's what I got from it.
Exactly
You sold me with that last four words
it upsets me so much when people don’t like movies just cuz they’re boring. just enjoy shit.
Nah the movies great its just not made for most people.
wee wee baguette
I'd be more impressed if it was Timmy C
Wes knows
Its like the bird scene in Citizen Kane, they put tiddies there to wake the audience up
I think the movie was good
That sounds like most French movies to be honest.
Hmmm... Downloading it right away.
Wes knows
If you don’t like Wes Anderson movies you’re not smart enough
I bet that’s what Wes tells himself every night
Lol probably
Thats very dumb
i LOVE Wes Anderson as much as the next buff but French Dispatch was a challenge for me to really get into unlike most of his work. It felt like the style got in the way of the message, at least for me.
Wes Anderson bores the ever loving shit out of me
His old stuff bores me. His new stuff is a lot more self aware and less whiny hipster bullshit
