'The French Dispatch' is Wes Anderson at his most Wes Anderson-y

Journalists Herbsaint Sazerac (Owen Wilson), JKL Berensen (Tilda Swinton), Lucinda Krementz (Frances McDormand) and Roebuck Wright (Jeffrey Wright) submit their stories, each of them a slice of life from the world of arts, politics, travel, and food.
