This week we discuss The French Dispatch, Wes Anderson’s first work in an anthology format. This one is both an ode to French cinema and to The New Yorker, is charming in its own drab yet fanciful Anderson way, and is chock full of various filmmaking abstractions. In our movie news section, we discuss current working female directors in anticipation of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie. Finally, we do a draft of writers in movies and share our recommendations of the week.
