Premium Member Stephen Perera Posted June 22, 2023 Author Premium Member Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) so....what do we think after watching it??????? I saw it in the cinema in Spain, in Spanish - could not wait to see it! so will hold off my review until I watch it in the original language.....I loses everything in translation I think... Its on the cinemas here in Gibraltar in English language as from tomorrow Edited June 22, 2023 by Stephen Perera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giray Izcan Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 As much as I love Wes Anderson and his style, I think, at this point, he could branch out to different styles as each of his movies started to look and feel the same... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted June 22, 2023 Premium Member Share Posted June 22, 2023 I've been trying to find some time to watch it, but we will see it this weekend for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Stephen Perera Posted July 3, 2023 Author Premium Member Share Posted July 3, 2023 I saw it again in original language and I really enjoyed it. It lost a LOT in translation. Anyone else seen it? Has it become less about cinematography and more an 'art director' 'production design' masterpiece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart McLain Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I saw it last weekend. I enjoyed it but it is among my least favorites of Anderson's movies so far. Worth watching for sure but it probably sits just above Darjeeling Limited (least favorite) in my personal rankings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Frank Wylie Posted July 3, 2023 Premium Member Share Posted July 3, 2023 Saw it last weekend. It was beautifully shot, full of humor and pathos, well staged and fun to watch. However, I left the theater puzzled more than anything else. It was kind of like watching a couple of hours of Henny Youngman standups interrupted by flashes of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?" I left with the distinct impression I failed to grasp the entire thrust of the motion picture despite it being laid-out in bold relief... Weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdul Rahman Jamous Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 watched the trailer, absolutely hate it! don't get me wrong I enjoyed watching Anderson's movies, Moonrise kingdom an absolute master piece. I didn't watch "The French Dispatch" but I remember that the movie had a very exciting trailer. but watching this trailer felt that I'm watching a stop motion movie, the composition felt very much like the isle of the dog. the character of the film felt like robots. the trailer didn't work for me.

Moonrise Kingdom is also my favourite so far....one must watch a film to talk about it though haha I also left unfulfilled in terms of the plot and understanding of what I saw but in simple terms it was an existentialist piece and as such open to interpretation Edited July 4, 2023 by Stephen Perera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giray Izcan Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 His recent movies feel like their only concern is to create a world and visuals without a plot or a story. Moonrise Kingdom and the Grand Budapest Hotel were the last great ones - in my opinion of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with this somewhat....perhaps his next one takes the 'criticism' from us fans on board and he hits us with a great story. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is next...shot on 16mm...perhaps this one has a more linear storyline more of us can follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giray Izcan Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 It doesn't have to be linear but a story would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giray Izcan Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Of course... it had a great cinematography, but I did not care much for the film itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
