Description
Structured like a magazine, The French Dispatch features three main stories and an obituary, each with its own tone and style. Anderson’s meticulous production design and framing capture the quirks of 20th-century journalism, while the ensemble cast — including Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, and Timothée Chalamet — brings each segment to life. Criterion’s restoration preserves the film’s rich colors and textures. Supplements include behind-the-scenes documentaries, interviews, and essays on Anderson’s craft.
