Ostensibly a tale about journalists for a peculiarly French-based outpost feeding stories to a magazine based in the American Midwest, Director Wes Anderson, working from his own screenplay based on a story co-written with Roman Coppola and Hugo Guinness, delivers art incarnate in The French Dispatch. From expressions of the written art to mad artists, art lovers, food art, revolution art, and historical art, there’s a wonderful beating heart of the pursuit of art as its own endeavor at play here. Every ounce of Wes Anderson’s creativity is brought to bear in this film, and that undiluted sensibility gives us the most Wes Anderson movie yet. It’s a joy to behold. Dense with detail, diorama filmmaking, and a delectable cinematic decoupage, The French Dispatch is a joyful experience. Recommended.
