In post-war France, extinguished by the fatigue of the conflict, Anderson's flashes of color appear as notes of unexpected vivacity. Nostalgic but equally energetic, the scenography that frames the whirlwind of events is an overwhelming wunderkammer: thanks to the narrative techniques used - flashback, live action and animation, among the others - the set design curated by Adam Stockhausen favors the director's imaginative world, "turning in the blink of an eye from the extravagant facetious to the painfully innocent". Everything else is therefore to be discovered and, above all, to be watched carefully. "The film is a love letter to journalists set in an American magazine outpost in a fictional twentieth century French city and brings to life a collection of stories published in The French Dispatch magazine," reads the synopsis. If the cast is stellar and the quotes are perfectly timed to act as the background to the story, in fact, once again, a disruptive aesthetic appears that reaches new dimensions of decorative ingenuity, touching through the lens unprecedented glimpses of social observation.

Thus, the new film by Wes Anderson, The French Dispatch, promises to be a true masterpiece of contemporary cinema. Stories binding into each other, quick memories whirling around in a wonder chamber and a celebration of discovery and invention that, above all, is meant to be a literal declaration of love. Looking at the sets of the new movie by Wes Anderson, a selection of objects and furnishings follows the French aesthetic desired from the Director.
