Wes Anderson’s ‘Asteroid City’ Receives Quirky and Creative Review at Cannes Film Festival

Wes Anderson’s latest film, Asteroid City, is a wild ride that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about cinema.

Anderson’s signature stylized compositions and camera moves are on full display, making it clear from the get-go that you’re in for a treat. But don’t be fooled by the film’s seemingly straightforward premise – there’s more to this story than meets the eye. As the characters gather in the desert for Asteroid Day, it becomes clear that something else is percolating beneath the surface. And with a play-within-a-film conceit that adds yet another layer of complexity, Asteroid City is a fresh, original, and disarming creation that will keep you guessing until the very end. So go ahead, fall asleep – because you won’t want to miss a minute of this madly original masterpiece.
