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…

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…
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
As is the case with the majority of Wes Anderson's work, there is an endearing aesthetic baked into this film's plot and execution -- there's something innocent about the way he crafts his scripts and directs his films. This is putting aside the fact that he often structures his films around children or families, or how he uses bright colors to draw a viewer in.
Isle of Dogs continues his hot streak; it's wildly imaginative and impressively unique, both in terms of its stop-motion design and its story. I don't think it's Anderson's strongest effort (I would put both Grand Budapest and Moonrise Kingdom above this), but when it does work it becomes something truly special.
A special advance screening of the film before it opened on March 28, 2018.
La dirección de Wes Anderson y la fotografía, además de las múltiples referencias a la cultura japonesa hacen que Isle of dogs sea un película extraordinaria en el apartado técnico, pero es que además Anderson cuenta una muy buena historia, aprovechando para hacer una crítica social muy acertada.
Si mezclas todo esto, obtienes la película que más me ha gustado de lo que va de año.
Wes Anderson has always been one of my favourite directors for many reasons, but what distinguishes him from every other creator is his borderline obsessive commitment to his visual style and aesthetic, and his ability to seamlessly blend comedy with tragedy. Although, while all of his films have a sense of melancholy to them, this is undoubtedly Anderson's most upsetting film. Don't be fooled by the PG rating: this is NOT for kids. Children could watch this, but it never once feels like Anderson is catering to that demographic. Instead, his vision is unaltered and shines through with beautiful precision.
The overall message of the film is one of conformity, media manipulation, corruption and hypocrisy. It's a movie that hits…
This is a marvelous joy from top to bottom, complete with mesmerizing animation. I clearly need to rewatch FANTASTIC MR. FOX.
