Project Description:
Having watched The French Dispatch during its opening weekend in 2021, I vividly recall being completely captivated by Wes Anderson’s cinematography. I made it a point to recommend the film to everyone, not just for its plot, but also for its stunning visual artistry.
In brief, the movie is based in a fictitious French town called Ennui sur Blasé, and it follows the staff of the titular publication, led by editor-in-chief Arthur Howitzer, Jr. (played by Bill Murray), as they collaboratively create the magazine’s final issue and later write Arthur’s obituary after his passing. The magazine features three sections — “Arts and Artists,” “Politics/Poetry,” and “Tastes and Smells” — which can be assumed to be common segments found in editorial publications. The French Dispatch is a clear tribute to The New Yorker and serves as Anderson’s ode to both journalism and European sensibility.
