Wes Anderson sets his joyous love letter to long-form journalism in the European outpost of a New Yorker-like magazine, weaving five wondrous stories: a publisher (Bill Murray) who bails out a wildly imaginative storyteller (Jeffrey Wright); a writer (Frances McDormand) who takes a young radical (Timothée Chalamet) under her wing; and an art critic (Tilda Swinton) enamored of a talented artist (Benicio del Toro) she discovers in prison. And that’s just a teaser: the cast also includes Adrien Brody, Elisabeth Moss, Saoirse Ronan, Edward Norton, Jeffrey Wright and more. Experience the Anderson universe at its most exquisite.

“Charming … a welcome salute to storytelling … a freewheeling three-part salute to old-school journalism in general and The New Yorker in particular” –IndieWire
