Description

The French Dispatch brings to life a collection of stories from the final issue of a fictional American magazine published in a twentieth-century French city.

The film is inspired, in part, by the histories and personalities - the editors and writers - of publications such as the Paris Review, the New York Review of Books and, especially, the New Yorker.

In addition to the screenplay, this volume also contains a gallery of images from the film.

Reviews

"For sheer moment-by-moment pleasure, and for laughs, this is a treat." -- Peter Bradshaw, Guardian

"Perhaps Anderson's best film to date...And, for all its whimsical humor, it is an action film, a great one, although Anderson's way of displaying aciton is unlike that of any other filmmaker." -- Richard Brody, The New Yorker
