I finally saw the latest movie from Wes Anderson last night and while going in with medium-low expectations (some reviews have been lukewarm) I ended up really loving it! The portrait of these three neurotic damaged brothers is so alive, each one of their silly idiosincracies adds to this wonderful character study of a film. [...]
I’ve already mentioned how much I loved reading Persepolis (Vol1 and 2) and how I am really looking forward to the movie. Now you can even read an interview with Marjane Satrapi on the NYTimes.
