His art prompts an effort by an investor (Adrien Brody) to free him, with unfortunate consequences.Īn essayist (Frances McDormand) spins a tale of revolution among students on a private-school campus, led by a womanizing chess prodigy (Timothee Chalamet). The first episode is a compelling satire of modern-art appreciation as told by a writer (Tilda Swinton) whose story concerns a convict (Benicio Del Toro) who also happens to be a talented painter, and his muse is a prison guard (Lea Seydoux).
As the staff of expatriate journalists in the French town of Ennui prepares his obituary, we’re given a peek inside the contents of the final issue. (Bill Murray), the publisher of the titular monthly insert to his family’s Kansas newspaper. Indeed, the auteur’s idiosyncrasies are as plentiful as ever in this vibrant and evocative compilation of comedic vignettes that overdoses on quirks and gimmicks by any traditional measure, yet also maintains such a steadfast commitment to Anderson’s unique vision that it works in spite of itself.Īs the film opens, we’re told of the death of Arthur Howitzer Jr.
I think it was three months and on Spectre, it was eight months, but the role this time was bigger, so it felt very different.If you’re not familiar with the Wes Anderson oeuvre, you might not appreciate The French Dispatch, a delightfully offbeat comedy that feels like a spiritual companion to The Grand Budapest Hotel, maybe crossed with “60 Minutes.” I did films right before and after No Time to Die, too, so the shooting process was compressed. There was also another scene in which I had to swim and stay in the water for almost a day. It’s the kind of thing you do in a James Bond film and, as an actor, it’s always good to push boundaries, but I’m not very brave so every time I had to do a little stunt I was nervous.

In 2013, she and her co-star Adèle Exarchopoulos became the first performers to be awarded the Palme d’Or alongside their director Abdellatif Kechiche for the ravishing and controversial love story Blue is the Warmest Color. The 36-year-old French actor is used to making history. But in No Time to Die, the 25th installment of the blockbuster franchise which will mark Daniel Craig’s final appearance as the brooding secret agent, Léa Seydoux will do just that when she reprises her role from 2015’s Spectre as the enigmatic psychologist Madeleine Swann. It’s a fact easily forgotten that in 24 films released across six decades, no love interest has ever played a significant part in more than one James Bond movie.
