The official companion to The French Dispatch and the latest volume in the bestselling Wes Anderson Collection series
The French Dispatch—the
tenth feature film from writer-director Wes Anderson—weaves together
stories of an eccentric band of expat journalists working at the titular
American newspaper in 20th-century Ennui-sur-Blasé, France. Broken out
into a series of vignettes, this love letter to the New Journalism era
is filled with a cast of Anderson’s frequent collaborators, including
Jason Schwartzman, Bob Balaban, and Willem Dafoe, as well as new players
Timothée Chalamet, Jeffrey Wright, Elisabeth Moss, and Benicio del
Toro.
In this latest one-volume entry in the Wes Anderson Collection series—the only book to take readers behind the scenes of The French Dispatch—everything
that goes into bringing Anderson’s trademark style, intricate
compositions, and meticulous staging to the screen is revealed in
detail. The Wes Anderson Collection: The French Dispatch
presents the complete story behind the film’s conception, anecdotes
about the making of the film, and behind-the-scenes photos, production
materials, and conceptual artwork.
