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.
Near the bottom of my rankings for Wes Anderson, but it really is a delightful film with real gravitas. Continues Anderson's pattern of studying characters who have been traumatized in some way. I don't think it treads new ground for Anderson thematically, but it is beautifully written and performed, and is also obviously a stylistic wonder. Like THE FANTASTIC MR. FOX, it's exactly the kind of movie I look forward to watching with my kids.
I approached this animated feature from director Wes Anderson with trepidation but my fears were quickly alleviated because this is a funny and witty film and its very heartwarming. On the surface it's about the love a boy has for his dog but it's also a film about disenfranchisement, about populism and bigotry.
Set in Japan 20 years in the future the dog hating mayor of Megasaki City uses an outbreak of dog flu as an excuse to banish all dogs to the dystopian Trash Island where all the city's garbage is dumped. But the Mayor's young ward Atari illegally goes there to find his beloved pet and is helped in his search by a band of scruffy dogs.

still a magical experience as the first time i watched it. also that score! i'm still obsessed over desplat's work for this one.
It's so weird and unique but, it's Wes Anderson's weird and unique!
This film is what happens what ya give the director creative control along with many tools, approaches, choices and etc.
Maybe animation is a platform where the sky's the limit for anyone willing to venture after all.
Such an excellent film. i felt the first 10 minutes dragged a little but once i got passed that the films characters and world really sucks you in.
Gorgeously created with incredible graphics and music. The film has a surprisingly detailed world, a worthwhile plot that goes in some fun and interesting directions, and a cast of stellar voice acting. The only issues I have is some aspects of the plot needed a little more time, and the voice acting can be a bit stiff due to direction, but in a way it works with the film. The writing was very clever, and there were shots in the film that were deeply and technically satisfying and witty.
Charming animation and story, almost as good as fantastic mr fox but I saw that when I was a kid so I have some bias.
