From writer/director Wes Anderson, The French Dispatch is a love letter to journalists and a new comedy/drama about a collection of love stories published in The French Dispatch magazine.

Key cast includes Timothée Chalamet, Saoirse Ronan and Elisabeth Moss.

I liked Anderson’s last film The Grand Budpest Hotel (2014). I therefore hope that this too will be amusing and a feast for all the senses.

Bill Murray, Cécile de France, Léa Seydoux, Benicio Del Toro, Rupert Friend, Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson, Liev Schreiber, Tilda Swinton Christoph Waltz, Willem Dafoe and Edward Norton also star.

The French Dispatch Release Dates: January 28th, 2021 (Slovakia)…

Alfred Hitchcock is a name all fans of film learn about sooner or later. He is the most famous British director and has inspired many directors after him.

In this Kent Jones-directed documentary, a selection of some of the best film directors of today talk about how much Hitchcock influenced their own work. Particularly what they learned of Hitchcock’s approach to filmmaking in French director Francoise Truffaut’s 1966 publication, Cinema According to Hitchcock.

Martin Scorsese, David Fincher and Wes Anderson are three of the directors who share their experience in Hitchcock/Truffaut. I look forward to being enlightened.

Written/directed by Wes Anderson, The Grand Budapest Hotel is a dramatic comedy/adventure that stars Ralph Fiennes, Adrien Brody, Mathieu Amalric, Jude Law, Edward Norton and two great young actors by the name of Tony Revolori and Saoirse Ronan.

Anderson’s film is a wonderful feast of good and humorous storytelling that features rich, colourful cinematography and great dialogue.

Every line that comes out of the mouth of Monsieur Gustave – who is excellently played by Ralph Fiennes is delivered with such expert comic timing, that upon second viewing I could barely look at anyone else. The same can be said for every move made by M. Gustave.

Oddly enough, the first couple of times I tried to watch The Grand Budapest Hotel, I stopped within ten minutes of starting. I just couldn’t get into the swing of it at first.

Having now seen the film more than once, please don’t let the initial slow-ish pace at the beginning dissuade you, for things get most interesting as soon as Monsieur Gustave is introduced, ten minutes in. That’s when the adventure truly begins. Watch it, see and enjoy.

Happy Film Loving,
