Darjeeling was probably the most bored I've ever been in a movie theater. it felt like a spot-on parody of a Wes Anderson film, just without any humor
― frogbs, Friday, 23 March 2018 16:35 (six years ago) link
"look at these assholes" was a peak Wes Anderson moment but otherwise the film wasn't top shelf. though i liked it tbh.

The Darjeeling Limited is the best! I know it gets a lot of stick for cultural appropriation but it’s all framed in a ‘look at these idiots!’ kind of way, epitomised in the shoe-being-stolen prank. I think it’s a wonderfully poignant film about parental neglect and what it means to be symbolically orphaned. And about all kinds of loss really.
The performances, especially by Wilson and Brody, feel blisteringly personal, and the context of what was going on for Owen Wilson at the time only adds to this: http://content.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1658495,00.html

I'm glad to see ILX consensus around every film ever released by Wes Anderson.

nobody talked about moonrise at all on this thread. maybe there is another thread where people talk about it.
― scott seward, Saturday, 24 March 2018 14:16 (six years ago) link
yeah I love darjeeling, but maybe only because of the color palette
― akm, Saturday, 24 March 2018 15:14 (six years ago) link
the only recent ones i’ve liked are Moonrise Kingdom & Grand Budapest Hotel. I can’t explain why but all the promos for Isle of Dogs have repelled me. But I wasn’t into Fantastic Mr Fox either

wow i completely agree with tt actually, i found darjeeling v touching at the time but all of the critiques of it mademe feel like i was remembering it wrong or even had interpreted it incorrectly when i saw it
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Saturday, 24 March 2018 17:58 (six years ago) link
I think in some ways (especially visually) it’s the most superficially Wes andersony of his movies, but for all its flaws it’s the one where the characters are most recognisably human (rather than marionettes). It’s definitely not his worst.
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Saturday, 24 March 2018 21:00 (six years ago) link
Yeah, it's only the worst among the films he's made.
― not quite as cool as seeing damo's wang but (contenderizer), Saturday, 24 March 2018 21:23 (six years ago) link
This looks right, and it's the order I'd agree with most. He's only made three watchable movies, though (your top three), and I've no interest in watching them again (not necessarily a sin).
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 24 March 2018 21:35 (six years ago) link
TBH, I don't really want to watch any of them beyond the top 4 again.
― "Minneapolis" (barf) (Eric H.), Saturday, 24 March 2018 23:48 (six years ago) link
Zissou is probably widely regarded as the worst Wes Anderson film and maybe people are right, but I thought it was very good.
― omar little, Saturday, 24 March 2018 23:50 (six years ago) link
End of Zissou might be the best thing he's ever done.
― Gukbe, Sunday, 25 March 2018 00:31 (six years ago) link
Love Zissou, though it took a second viewing to bring me around. Initially kind of hated it. No such luck with Darjeeling.

I don't think Anderson's strange, dry humor translated well with Fantastic Mr. Fox. I have no hope for The Isle of Dogs (especially after watching the first long preview). I really enjoy most of his other work though.
― Woon... Doopee Time (FlopsyDuck), Monday, 26 March 2018 14:19 (six years ago) link
Dahl's sensibility and Anderson's were a good mesh.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 26 March 2018 14:21 (six years ago) link
Anderson excels when you have quirky things in the real world like the treehouse in Moonrise Kingdom. Take away the real world, aka talking animated animals, the quirky stuff hardly works.
― Woon... Doopee Time (FlopsyDuck), Monday, 26 March 2018 14:25 (six years ago) link
I'll watch Isle of Dogs anyway because maybe Mr. Fox is a fluke.
― Woon... Doopee Time (FlopsyDuck), Monday, 26 March 2018 14:29 (six years ago) link
I don't think Anderson's sensibility translated very well through the voices of Clooney or Streep. Also, I've never been particularly a fan of Roald Dahl. Or animation. I have higher hopes for this one (despite not being a dog person).
― Moo Vaughn, Monday, 26 March 2018 14:46 (six years ago) link
I happened upon Fantastic Mr. Fox once while scrolling through channels in a hotel. I had no idea what it was - I completely forgot that he'd done an animated film. I thought it was some low-budget independent film and I enjoyed it a lot (at least, the 20 minutes I saw). Eventually I was like, "wait, some of these voices sound familiar.."
― frogbs, Monday, 26 March 2018 15:24 (six years ago) link
I don't think Anderson's FMF had much to do with Dahl's sensibility at all

― imago, Monday, 26 March 2018 21:09 (six years ago) link
Yeah I couldnt get with Anderson’s Fantastic Mr Fox. It was like watching a stop-motion Curb Your Enthusiasm episode or something, the humor felt very dry & adult & not my bag at all Plus I grew up with the book as a kid, i think that affected my expectations a lot

At this stage there are a group of pretty people that enjoy working in movies with large casts about vague big stuff, and if it's not this then it's a Woody Allen movie, so good news, it's this.
