Also can't fault the cast which is heavily star-laden: Benicio Del Toro, Bill Murray (as always, for a Wes Anderson film), Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, Lea Seydoux, Timothee Chalamet, Jeffrey Wright, Owen Wilson, Bob Balaban, Henry Winkler, Elisabeth Moss, Christoph Waltz, Alex Lawther, Liev Schreiber, Willem Dafoe, Edward Norton, Saoirse Ronan, Jason Schwartzman. The cinematography and special effects are stunning but without a decent plot and level of engagement they're just nice-to-look-at images, bereft of meaning. The French Dispatch premiered at the Cannes Film Festival after being delayed a year because of the pandemic and opened via Searchlight Pictures on October 22. While quirky, none of the stories are funny enough to make the film a comedy and carry it that way. Things just happen, sometimes in very haphazard, random ways with no attempt to draw in the audience. We have a central story - the final edition of a newspaper - plus four sub-stories (the four articles) none of which prove to be very engaging. With The French Dispatch, that's exactly where the problem lies. This is not a problem as long as the visual effects don't replace a good plot. With his recent films Anderson has also amped up the special effects and cinematography, making the films visually more stylish and art-like. They tend to be quirkily funny but can be difficult to get into. I generally enjoy Wes Anderson's films and have seen all of them with Rushmore, The Fantastic Mr Fox and The Royal Tenenbaums being my favourites. In it are four articles, details of which the film illustrates. When the long-serving editor dies, as per his wishes The French Dispatch closes but not before a final edition. Every week it provides articles from renowned journalists. When asked after the match if he would look to join Messi in the MLS, Ronaldo told reporters in Portuguese: "No because in Arabia, the competition much better than in the United States." What other players have joined Saudi teams?įormer Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema (Al-Ittihad), former Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kanté (Al-Ittihad), former Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino (Al-Ahli), former Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly (Al-Hilal) and former Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic (Al-Nassr) are among the players who have moved or will soon move to the Saudi league.The French Dispatch is a French subsidiary of a Kansas newspaper. Ronaldo criticized Messi's move to the MLS recently after Al-Nassr suffered a 5-0 defeat in a friendly against Celta Vigo. In December, Ronaldo signed with Al-Nassr on a contract that runs through June 2025 and reportedly pays him up to $200 million annually. Did Cristiano Ronaldo sign with a Saudi Arabian team? Messi, instead, opted to sign July 15 with Inter Miami of the MLS, where he has already made a splash, scoring a free kick winner in the 94th minute of his debut with the club. The French Dispatch is Anderson’s ode to journalism, French cinema and the magic found while winding through the country’s cobblestone streets. PSG suspended and fined Messi two weeks for the matter. In May, Messi took an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia, which was part of a promotional tour with the country's office of tourism. The Saudi team, which is the rival team of Cristiano Ronaldo's current squad, Al-Nassr, had been trying to pry Messi away from Paris Saint-Germain. Did Al Hilal express interest in Lionel Messi? Mbappé was a key figure in France's 2018 World Cup victory, scoring a goal in the final over Croatia, but also starred in the most recent World Cup, winning the Golden Boot. Mbappé, 24, is widely considered to be one of the brightest young stars in global soccer because of his speed, ball control and finishing ability. PSG cut Mbappe from its preseason tour of Japan on Saturday, with the French club determined to sell him unless he can be convinced to sign a new contract. He has been widely linked to a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid. Mbappé is in a contract dispute with PSG after he declined to take up the option of a 12-month extension on his deal.
