The French Dispatch : The other Age Gap movie

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas travel to the fictional town of Ennui-sur-Blasé to grab a copy of the final issue of The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun.

It's the final round of Anderson vs. Anderson, with the 10th feature from visionary director Wes Anderson – THE FRENCH DISPATCH. The film's ensemble cast features a who's who of Wes Anderson universe favourites, led by Bill Murray, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, Owen Wilson, Edward Norton, and Jason Schwartzman, as well as newcomers, Benicio del Toro, Léa Seydoux, Timothée Chalamet, Lyna Khoudri and Jeffrey Wright.

Full of all the camera tricks and movements, centre framed shots, visual effects, pastel colours, unique wardrobe, stunning set design, whimsical music and stories, stop-motion, swapping between colour and black and white – the film is the pinnacle of everything Wes Anderson has been working up to until now. But is it any good?

Join us as we crack into the Twee world of Wes Anderson and pit his work against the latest from Paul Thomas Anderson one-last-time!
