Asteroid City 2023
More icey than usual Anderson. Suppose that's part of it. Hell of a knot to undo here, but the undoing is the text of the film itself. Dealing with things infinitely larger than us; incomprehensible things that we try to understand, perform a person who maybe does, and attempt to reconcile those two selves. Did it leave me wanting more clarity? Yes, but so did the actors within the framing device of the film.
Cements Schwartzman as the best actor Anderson's ever worked with. Understands and anchors the deep, confused melancholy.
