When did American Francophilia end? You look at 1945-1970 and there was an enormous popular interest in French literature, philosophy, cuisine, fashion, film. What happened?

I read reviews of Wes Anderson movies especially this one and they don’t seem to get it’s a comedy? The ones that like it the most mention the jokes and laughs but the less they like it the less they seem to understand the bit.

I just don’t understand the need for animus at all against a whimsical parfait of a film that continues the same directorial intent to delight & amuse. Some people were expecting him to become a different kind of filmmaker suddenly?

My animus has nothing to do with The New Yorker; it’s that I find Anderson’s movies unwatchably twee.
