(ANSA) - CANNES, 12 JUL - Wes Anderson, with few exceptions, always makes the same film: it's inevitable. This time with THEFRENCH DISPATCH, in competition at the Cannes Film Festival and on November 11 with Disney, he even goes beyond himself and fills this work of his comic postcards, of his theories in which the characters are little more than puppets in a theater of papier mache. And this time Anderson was able to play with an impressive number of actors: Benicio del Toro, Francesc McDormand, Jeffrey Wright, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Owen Wilson, Timothée Chalamet, Mathieu Amalric, Willem Dafoe, Edward Norton, Liev Schreiber and many others. which Lea Seydouxche interprets "a multilayered woman".
"A love letter to reporters set in the outpost of an American newspaper in a fictional twentieth century French city", Wes Anderson himself describes the film as he adds: "It's not an easy story to explain, but it's about an American journalist based in in France he creates his own magazine. It is not a film about press freedom anyway, but when we talk about reporters, we also talk about what is happening in the real world ".
The work, however, focuses on several micro-stories of the editorial of this newspaper, brought to light on the occasion of the death of the editor of the newspaper (played by BillMurray). It is a collection of short stories published in the eponymous The French Dispatch, set in the fictional French city of Ennui-sur-Blasé. The film is inspired by Anderson's love for the New Yorker and some characters and events are based on real facts. One of the plots is centered on the protests of the student occupation of May '68 and inspired by the article by Mavis Gallant 'The Events in May: A ParisNotebook', while another story, perhaps the most striking, with the character of Julien Cadazio (Adrien Brody ), is based on "TheDays of Duveen" published by the New Yorker about the art dealer LordDuveen. Now,among the discoveries of this merchant, there is that of a psychopathic artist (Benicio Del Toro) who works in prison amidst many difficulties and tricks. (HANDLE).
