As a family, we went to the local cinema to watch The French Dispatch yesterdat. I have to say I was surprised that my son decided to join us for this as I did not think that this would be his type of film and he has been absent during parts or all of many films that we have tried to watch at home as a family.
The children said that they enjoyed the film, as did my wife. I did enjoy it in parts, but I have to say that I am unsure if I would recommend it. It told stories in a different way to how I have watched them on film in the past, and did make me laugh at times but I suspect that the deficiency in appreciating the film lies with me rather than the film itself.
I know that this is a film that I will not be watching again. What surprises me is that I think that this is the first film of Wes Anderson that I have got round to watching (I have wanted to watch others before).
