Following "Isle of Dogs", his whimsical stop-motion animated feature about a young Japanese boy in search of his beloved dog sent off to a quarantined island due to canine flu, writer/director Wes Anderson is back with a live-action feature. As to be expected, "The French Dispatch" is another fanciful and outlandish tale and has been described by the filmmaker as "a love letter to journalists set at an outpost of an American newspaper in a fictional 20th-century French city". Inspired by Anderson's love of The New Yorker, there are three storylines he has created which features characters and events that are based on real-life equivalents from the magazine. The film also has an impressive cast with long-time collaborators (Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson) and first-time appearances (Benicio del Toro, Jeffrey Wright, Henry Winkler, Elizabeth Moss, Liev Schreiber) working with Anderson.
"The French Dispatch" is due in U.S. theaters on
