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…
a dog: *sneezes*
me literally every single time throughout this entire film: bless you
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.
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…
jeff goldblum as a gossipy dog is everything i could ever want from a wes anderson film
sometimes i hate when animated movies cast big name actors because then i spend the whole film playing Whose Voice Is That
