pretty bold of wes anderson to make a film about how propaganda is bad while simultaneously inserting blatant anti-cat propaganda throughout said film 🤔
The world is trash, and Wes Anderson is currently enjoying the hottest streak of his career. These things, it turns out, are not unrelated. The worse things get, the more fantastical Anderson’s films become; the more fantastical Anderson’s films become, the better their style articulates his underlying sincerity. Disorder fuels his imagination, and the staggeringly well-crafted “Isle of Dogs” is nothing if not Anderson’s most imaginative film to date.
There’s a whiff of inevitability to that. Whether telling a story about a splintered New York dynasty or one about a faded European hotel where it used to be possible to find some faint glimmers of civilization in this barbaric slaughterhouse known as humanity, Anderson has always been attuned to the…
Was kicking myself since April for not catching this film when it was in theaters. Rio Theater in Vancouver had a single screening yesterday and I took advantage of it.
Love it. Not as much as Fantastic Mr. Fox but only making that comparison because they are both by Anderson. The animation is so ambitious, so refreshing... how can one not appreciate this film.
If you have the chance of seeing this on the big screen, you should.
a dog: *sneezes*
me literally every single time throughout this entire film: bless you
easily my least favorite wes anderson movie in the last decade, maybe he’s finally on the decline
this is still cute enough and fun enough to enjoy, i love the symmetry and the snappiness and i still smiled a lot, but the story and it’s characters and it’s dialogue feel spaced out and disconnected (it probably has something to do with the fact that half or so of the entire cast speak words that aren’t translated, leaving a gap at it’s core. some people might enjoy that disconnect, but i personally don’t) compared to the tightly wound and spring loaded films he’s put out in recent years, i can’t help but feel an emptiness here, like grasping for straws. that’s what i get for having high hopes maybe, but i’m glad some people are having fun with this

I grew up with a family dog. That, of course, involves responsibility. Walking Louie before school was a necessity, and he wouldn't let me leave without feeding him a treat. I had to pull him away from smells he found too intriguing (meaning he sniffed them for more than thirty seconds), and tighten my grip on his leash when the neighborhood Chihuahua was outside by the garage. Louie hated him, for reasons I'll never know why. I'm sure he had a good reason, or at least I hope. A family dog also involves great joy. Immeasurable, pure, angelic joy. Joy so bright and true, it can move mountains. I remember when Louie peed on the carpet after a jump-scare…
me: no fear
my brain: what if wes anderson pulls a rogue one and all the dogs die while completing their task
me: one (1) fear
This is one of my favorite Wes Anderson films the cinematography and animation is beautiful I recommend getting the blu ray it deserves a 4K along with fantastic mr fox but who knows if where going to get that
such a good film ugh i love stop motion this motivated me to go back n watch the making of coraline vids on youtube
The clever touches in the opening portion of Isle of Dogs mostly make up for a script that sags in the second half. As the plot sinks towards an ending that is somehow both predictable and nonsensical, memories of the earlier jokes and visual flickers mean there is a fondness for the film until the end. Yet, based on the beginning and frustratingly, Wes Anderson’s stop-motion film could have been a right jolly party.
Isle of Dogs portrays a Japanese society that has decided to banish all dogs onto a garbage island, a sort of leper colony for canines who ultimately learn to talk in English. Onto the island comes a human boy looking for his beloved mutt, just as…
