Summary
Who's ready for an anthology movie about mostly Americans in France writing about mostly not Americans in France for an imagined audience of mostly Americans in America? And sometimes everyone speaks French. But mostly they don't. Wes Anderson works with his ever-growing company of highest-profile players to construct this triptych of art and insanity, love and revolution, and food and crime. And a deep admiration for the talents and obsessions of midcentury American magazine writers. *Come support the podcast and get yourself or someone you love a random gift at our merch store .
