The French Dispatch
Every film <PERSON> makes feels like a love letter to cinema and this was no exception.
The French Dispatch is four stories in a film, which works really well with his style. In everyone of them he gets to explore different sides of the magazine and the city. And introduce a whole other set of quirky characters. 594
It's a smart choice, because nothing outstays it's welcome or drags on for to long.
The cast is huge, it feels like everyone is here. You just don't say no when you get asked for an <PERSON> film.
For me the last story, with <PERSON>, was the strongest or most fun. It's a crazy journey from a dinner in the police precinct to a chase through the city streets to catch a kidnapper.
I laughed, I cried and I marveled at every frame <PERSON> created with his team. He used every trick in his playbook and somehow it all came together in this wonderful film. 529
