French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun, The

If you have never followed The New Yorker, now approaching its 100 year birthday, it’s a good chance you will not be able to relate to this great film. Wes Anderson long-time die-hard fan of the magazine, and it shows. There are real folks hidden behind the name-changed characters, the great journalists and writers, and the original editor and co-founder of the magazine Harold Ross. Ross deserves his own story- he quit school at 13 to become a newspaperman! The film is quirky, just like the magazine, and the film is not afraid to make fun of itself. The film uses unique stagecraft, black and white, and color mixing live-action and animation–it is a whirlwind! Watching the film is almost like turning the pages of this wonder of a magazine from your most comfortable chair. At the end of the film, there is a “dedication page” for all those talented writers whose typewriters ceased to tap-tap-tap long ago but whose words live on forever. If you are interested, the entire magazine is online, almost 100 years worth via subscription. The online layout is exactly like the magazine, including the original ads run in each issue. If you want to have fun, search for your birthday, and see what the world was like the day you were born. This is a fantastic film with a great ensemble cast; I cant wait to watch it again.

First Off...i hardly ever write reviews about Anything... Life Is Too Short. Sometimes...you need to support Artists [In Any Medium] Who Are Genius Masters Creating Stellar Brilliant majkl Art. i actually have literally despised & walked out on Wes Anderson films in the past...[Maybe i need to give Life Aquatic another chance but probably not...after all...Life Is Short Anyway...by accident i saw Grand Budapest Hotel...& to make an essay like review short....It Was Brilliant...In Every Way...Script, Acting, Direction, Set Design, Cinematography...Brilliant... so i approached The French Dispatch with some amount of Hope.... Even More Brilliant Than Budapest... Genius Script in 14 Different Ways...Stellar Acting, Literally i could picture the Long List of A Actors obviously working for Far Below their usual payday BEGGING Wes for a part so they could say These Brilliant Lines...Direction? Mind Bogglingly Off~The~Charts, Everything! A Joy to Behold...I have now loss track of how many times i have seen it...i would say at least 7 times [twice in the theater]. I Love It...Life Is Short. If You Haven't Seen It & You Love How Wonderful Movie Making can only Occasionally Be? Watch It Immediately.

I am a HUGE Wes Anderson fan. He is is a genius and created some of my favorite movies. The French Dispatch has a massive cameo cast with incredible actors. I did enjoy the movie but was less than thrilled with with story told in vignettes. I would have much preferred one cohesive tale where the characters are well developed. That is part of the charm with other Anderson movies. Rich character development of odd and quirky people who the audience grows to love. I hate to say that I was disappointed but, truth be told, I was.

This is a movie that gets funnier every time you watch it. And you have to view it more than once to pick up things you missed first time around.

Wes Anderson films, for me, are philosophical truths, deep, moving ones, hidden in a pastiche of yummy, intelligent absurdity. This was just mostly weird. That being said: Bill Murray was perfect. Absolutely perfect. It was nice to see familiar faces in cameo appearances, but overall, it seemed like this was overdone, belabored, and not clever-funny, but kind of ouch. I was glad to see it, and there were some good parts, and some touching parts, but I never laughed out loud, not once, and I missed that. It's a good enough film that you don't want to miss it, simply because how can you miss a Wes Anderson film, and not weigh in on it? I think, sadly though, that Wes Anderson films may not ever be as good, as magical, and as funny as they were before. Weird, on its on, is not enough.

Fun movie in the usual whimsical style of Wes Andereon. While The Grand Budapest Hotel is still my favorite Wes Anderson movie, The Fretch Dispatch is high up on the list now. It can be so captivating you completely forget you're watching a movie about The French Dispatch because their stories are so engrossing 😎👌

Along with The Grand Budapest Hotel, this movie shows Wes Anderson at his best. Both are masterpieces of film making. You can simply enjoy the plot, or you can watch again and see something different each time. Is there a newspaper shown on screen for three seconds? Freeze-frame and read it, because Anderson's world's are so fully realized the news articles reference them. I'm not a fan of all of Anderson's films. But I appreciate how with each movie over his career he more closely approached his potential for story telling, which he reached with Moonrise Kingdom, and amplified in this film.

Wow why was this buried so deep! Give me more mmmmmmmmBenicio

Benvenuti nell'ultimo, magico film di Wes Anderson, con un flusso ininterrotto di dialoghi e una parata di grandissimi attori. Il film è la storia, in un lungo arco di tempo, della redazione di un quotidiano americano, che si è installata in Francia, nella città immaginaria di Ennui-sur-Blasé. Intorno alla sua scrivania, Arthur Howitzer Jr.( figlio del fondatore e proprietario del quotidiano), ha raccolto i migliori giornalisti del suo tempo, che inseguono sul campo il soggetto che gli è stato assegnato. Questo film è una vera delizia per gli occhi, dovremmo poter fermare ogni inquadratura per cogliere tutti i dettagli che riempiono l'universo di un autore per cui il cinema è soprattutto arte pittorica. The French Dispatch è una collezione di storie e personaggi, un film inesauribile, che richiede senza dubbio più visioni, anche solo per riconoscere i volti delle star che compaiono anche solo il tempo di un primo piano o di una battuta. Il film è un omaggio del regista ad un mestiere che assomiglia a quello che fu il giornalismo e celebra la gloria della carta stampata e del cinema analogico. Assolutamente da vedere, soprattutto per chi ama I film di Wes Anderson.

Enfin un moyen de voir le film en français ! Une superbe version française et été enregistrée avec les voix officielles de Léa Seydoux, Timothé Chalamet, et pourtant rares sont les cinémas français qui ont prit la peine de la projeter ! Si il y a un devoir d’authenticité moral et louable à travers la diffusion de la VO, il ne me semble pas pour autant très moral d’exclure totalement la VF de la programmation ! Contrairement à ce que voudrait nous faire croire la majorité des étudiants en cinéma … regarder et ou programmer un film anglophone en VF n’est pas moins noble et ce dès lors que la projection en anglais exclu manifestement un grand nombre de spectateurs potentiels de l’aventure ! Le cinéma de Wes Anderson est suffisamment populaire pour qu’il en soit fini avec ce désir que l’élite bourgeoise bohème a de s’accaparer par le biais de la langue des films sans aucune légitimité ! Astéroïde City qui vient de sortir à été victime du même procédé … quel dommage … Enfin … Tout ça pour dire, merci amazone pour cette version française ! Le film est super foncez vous ne le regretterez pas 😍

la película excelente pero llego con la caja quebrada

Achtung Film hat keine Freigabe für Deutschland, aber wenn du gut englisch verstehst ist es ein höllischer Spaß. Danke Wes Anderson, dass du solche Filme machst.

Edizione americana del bluray di "The French Dispach", il dischetto si legge perfettamente sui lettori italiani, in quanto compatibile con l'area B. Ovviamente, il doppiaggio italiano del film è assente. Consigliatissimo a chi ama il cinema surreale di Wes Anderson, le sue inquadrature simmetriche, i suoi personaggi "cartoony". Da segnalare, fra le tante star presenti nel film, la pluripremiata Frances McDormand, il lanciatissimo Timothée Chalamet, la camaleontica Tilda Swinton e l'immancabile, per una pellicola di Anderson, Bill Murray. Da collezione.
