The French Dispatch brings to life a collection of stories from the final issue of a fictional American magazine published in a twentieth-century French city. The film is inspired, in part, by the histories and personalities - the editors and writers - of publications such as the Paris Review, the New York Review of Books and, especially, the New Yorker. In addition to the screenplay, this volume also contains a gallery of images from the film.
Wes Anderson is the writer/director of Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Acquatic with Steve Zissou, Darjeeling Limited, Fantastic Mr Fox and Moonrise Kingdom.
