The French Dispatch Ending & Every Magazine Section Meaning Explained
The French Dispatch ending cements Wes Anderson’s tribute to journalism of days past. The narrative structure didn’t land with all film critics, but others celebrated Anderson’s ingenuity in truly capturing the big-screen feeling of a 1960s-era magazine issue. This isn’t the first movie in which Wes Anderson has paid tribute to certain media types and pursuits of past eras, such as his critically divisive 2004 film The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, serving as a love letter to oceanography and the work of Jacques Cousteau. Anderson has been described as one of the most literary directors in the modern film landscape, so it’s no surprise The French Dispatch takes on the most literary structure of his films since 2001’s The Royal Tenenbaums.
