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. And personally, even if I'm not always on board with his emotive stylings and affectation - I love that his movies are smart, and that people respond to this level of intellect thrown at them (one of the central characters here is unabashedly 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.
And a central surprise is that this is also Anderson's first official science fiction film - and when that moment of realization hits, instead of feeling off key, it feels totally right.
