A good movie

Since I have seen all the movies directed by Wes Anderson, I was quite eager to check his last directorial effort. Well, once again, Anderson didn’t disappoint and delivered another delightful picture. Eventually, it’s not very often that I came across such an anthology of short stories which worked so well. Indeed, none of these 3 stories could have been really developed as a full-length feature and yet, there was plenty of room to fully develop each tale (which wasn’t the case, for example, with 'The Ballad of Buster Scruggs’, the anthology delivered by the Coen brothers). However, even if it was quite enjoyable, I don’t think it was one of Anderson’s best movies though. Above all, I thought the whole thing was just rather exhausting to watch. Sure, as usual with this director, the whole thing was visually really impressive and the amount of details and visual tricks was once again just amazing. In fact, to really grasp what was going in the screen, you should pretty much watch it frame by frame so you can notice every single neat detail. However, in normal speed, there was so much random stuff going on, I think I missed half of it which was rather tiresome and frustrating. Concerning the cast, well, pretty much every Anderson production has become some kind of All-Star game of the best actors around which might sound neat but it also has its downside. Indeed, as a result, at least half of them came by just to do one scene and it was in fact rather distracting to see a major actor playing some random character with barely any impact on the movie. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was maybe not another slam dunk for Wes Anderson, it was still pretty good and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in this director.
