Back in 2018, I went to the excellent exhibition for the Wes Anderson movie Isle Of Dogs, featuring sets and models from the stop-motion. Three years on Anderson has a new movie, The French Dispatch (which I saw earlier this week and naturally loved) and once again the same venue has put together a dazzling exhibition featuring costumes, props, sets from the movie, and even detailed models of the buildings and rooms from the movie (I was surprised how many of the places in the film were just beautifully constructed models rather than real places, they were awesome to see up close). There was also a re-creation of the Le Sans Bangue Cafe frequented by
Timothée Chalamet and the other students in the film, where you could have something to eat and drink after the exhibition. Rather nicely they also gave everyone their own copy of The French Dispatch with photos and articles inside featured in the movie. Here's a few photos I took from the exhibit, the amount of detail used from handwritten notes and drawings barely seen in the actual film, is awe-inspiring.
