"Asteroid City does not exist. It is an imaginary drama created expressly for this broadcast. The characters are fictional, the text hypothetical, the events an apocryphal fabrication, but together they present an authentic account of the inner workings of a modern theatrical production."

SUBLIME CINEMA #657 - ASTEROID CITY

Was lucky to catch this before it was released just about anywhere else, and I'm happy I did. Asteroid City is among Wes Anderson's best films, and visually it might be his most majestic - something that is hard to really quantify given that every one of his movies are objects of aesthetic perfection.

Love him or hate him, his films are audacious in scale, artistry, and freedom to experiment, and he does what he pleases. I find them cutesy but I also love that his movies are smart, and that audiences seem to respond to this level of intellect thrown at them without question (one of the central characters is nicknamed 'Brainiac', and he's surrounded by characters who are just as smart as he is.)

You could say Asteroid City is a stylistic leap, although it is still so familiar. What is different this time is that we are unsure of what is real and what is isn't; what backdrop might be digital, what might be Arizona, or what is a set, what is location. The bright teal and orange 'technicolor' looks completely out-of-this-world and yet it is all so comforting and nostalgic. There are enough details in the corners of each frame to fill out several feature films and warrant repeat viewings.

what do you call their relationship? stewy and sandi have so many scenes together, but they almost never interact, but i’m at peace with that. somehow they make it work. i like them together, but not interacting. it’s not chemistry. maybe anti-chemistry? avant-chemistry??
