The French Dispatch pops up with an exciting trailer that showcases the wonders of the cast and visual mise-en-scene. The film seems to be divided into three sections and offers a glimpse into an intricate plot. Director Wes Anderson‘s playful style and golden symmetry are also on display.

Names like Timothee Chalamet and Adrien Brody are just two of TFD’s cast. The talent doesn’t end there — it also includes Elisabeth Moss, Saoirse Ronan, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, Benecio Del Toro, Willan Dafoe, Lea Seydoux, Jeffrey Wright, Edward Norton and Christoph Waltz. The movie follows the beginning of the French Dispatch, a journal created by Arthur Howitzer Jr. It was a unique publication of politics, arts and travel articles designed to provide a refuge from everyday work and life. Anderson tells his human interest stories through historical and socio-political content.

Comedic actor Bill Murray ends this preview with a well-timed joke. This trailer oscillates from black and white to color to denote the passage of time. Audiences seem to love this preview.  And Wes Anderson always has a special way to showcase traditional themes. It’s a film trailer demonstrating beautiful athleticism and creative talents. It tells a story of its own, which serves as a glimpse into the stellar movie that is sure to come. This film is on PROVOKR’s top list for 2020 and we can’t wait to see it.
