    This is accurate but I'd add that it's also an excellent film. But I'll admit I'm more inclined to separate out aesthetic evaluation and political judgement than most people.https://twitter.com/reproutopia/status/1520547514784657412 …

    Sophie Lewis @reproutopia
    Watched The French Dispatch, it convinced me Wes Anderson has crossed over decisively from what was previously possible to condone as "apolitical world of winking whiteness & poignant quirkiness" into a fascoid trivializing of struggle and active investment in the carceral state.

        “Wes Anderson is not engaging with the full political depth of the discourse in this historical milieu” is like saying Monet didn’t address the location of the pond where he found his water lilies

        I am nonplussed at the cárceral state angle, is everything politics? Is there any space to enjoy stuff outside of its real life context? I mean, I am not sure it’s fair that the kids at Hogwarts are all legacies

        the three main parts of the french dispatch are about 1) an artist in prison 2) the May '68 student riots 3) a station of police officers

        I've watched plenty of films of a reactionary bent, including outright fascist propaganda, and I can appreciate their merits more than I can typical Andersonian self-indulgence. But that's just me, I guess.

        Also this review is spot-on as to what Anderson has become:https://www.gawker.com/culture/wes-anderson-has-become-a-character-of-his-own-making …

        Jeet. You are agreeing that Anderson is “fascoid”?

        The movie is pretty reactionary, although I doubt if Anderson is aware of that.
