Help yourself to a hand grenade.ย
Wes Anderson takes your hand and leads us all into a brand new adventure of his cinematic lore. Recurring themes of dysfunctional families, rivalry and fulfilment are all familiar to us now in the trademark spectacle work of Wes Anderson. This film focuses on the allure and perils that come with wealth and the emphasis on family over the demands of an exploiting business. Our main protagonist is a wealthy and empowering entrepreneur, who miraculously survives death a number of times in assassination attempts. There are frequent sequences of monochrome allusions that Wes Anderson meticulously illustrates his masterful language with. Itโs depicts a metaphor of pure defiance in the moments before death.ย
The film is seamlessly structured through the lens of shoeboxes that replicate the โKordaland and Sea Phoenician Infrastructure Schemeโ. One point I have to mention is that I found this film hard to follow at times with vocabulary and pacing. It carried a lot of quirky laughs from the incredible casting, what a display of fine talent. Not the finest of work from Wes Anderson, but itโs still enjoyable and I had a great time watching.
