A love letter to journalists set in an outpost of an American newspaper in a fictional twentieth century French city that brings to life a collection of stories published in “The French Dispatch Magazine”.

“If you know the style of Wes Anderson, this will be more of that.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA moving diorama of actors acting odd for the sake of oddness. This is actually four stories in one about American ex-pats who write for a French paper.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEverything is stylized in this film and works effectively. Watching the Benicio Del Toro story unfold is the most fun. The rest seem to be muddled in more pretention.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne gets the feeling Wes just sits around like an overgrown child and makes vroom vroom noises as he drags a toy car on the carpet. This is quitessential Wes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eVery well crafted.”
