Asteroid City

I wasn't able to watch this in theaters, and I knew a cam copy could never do it justice, so I finally got to watch Asteroid City with its digital release. I've watched every Wes Anderson feature film for the first time while I've been a user on this app, and I've made my feelings on his filmography no secret. I love his style and signature quirkiness, and how they influence the fairly simple story, so you can imagine I was excited to see his upcoming film, especially considering the talent in its cast. And, thankfully, Asteroid City managed to exceed my expectations, creating not just a beautiful and funny flick, but one that was genuinely heartfelt, something that brought me to tears towards the end. Every Wes Anderson film has an emotional core, one that often appears in its final act, and while this was no different, I feel it used it to such an unexpectedly great degree. It's the most Wes Anderson film yet, something I said with French Dispatch, and something I can't wait to say again when his next movie comes out. I get that his style isn't for everyone, especially as it keeps getting more and more pronounced, but I adore it, and I can't wait to see what he does next.

Asteroid City

- i've realized, that after these past few days of the anderson-dahl adaptations, i really enjoy rupert friend as a performer. i, too, june, fell for montana. - but, on a more focused note, i loved asteroid city. the dialogue, the narrative direction, so many dynamics between the characters and their situations, their responses. it was such a busy film to me, but it all moved so well, cohesively. - this alternate universe was a nice space to be a witness to, and anderson has revitalized, for me, the notion of just appreciating a story.

Asteroid City

Watched at Cannes film festival in the Agnès Varda theatre which was an unbelievable experience, one I’m very grateful for and very glad to have experienced it. There wasn’t an empty chair of course which made this even better. The film itself is a fun time, in the style we have all come to know, and the cast is absolutely fantastic. Wasn’t keen on the narration elements and felt the film could’ve been better just as a film to be honest, but yeah I loved the colour and it was funny on several occasions. Plus to alien is very goofy looking, both for good and bad.

"What about Dr. Hickenlooper?!" Another lovely outing; lovely to look at, lovely to consider. For all the formalized actions and trivials and procedures his characters throw in the way of themselves, it never fully tamps down their ability to feel -> often in such quietly eruptive ways. And such formal structure here, bracketed by Stage Rights and Stage Lefts and a deluge of wink-worthy in-&-outs between cast, characters, audience. The meta is half the fun. I really enjoy how often he builds a framework for his movies within existing culture and times past, where the re-tellings are from a vantage point when these histories have long filtered through and inspired the culture at large. The era itself may be long gone, but it's a retrospective made continually alive as successive generations take it to heart, injecting new meaning to shared struggles.

Asteroid City

"I don't know about this play." Sir, me too. "You can't wake up if you don't fall asleep." Thank you for informing, i'm having a good fall asleep and then wake up after the movie end. This movie is too boring for me and i don't know what happen in there. Feels like i'm being read a bedtime story by someone.
