It’s a pity that such a meticulously choreographed and beautifully staged film ended up being at the same time so dull and empty. Wes Anderson’s idea to combine a tribute to his favorite Nouvelle Vague movies with a vintage magazine live-action is definitely interesting, but with the possible exception of the painter’s article, the stories and characters have very little to say. Instead, it’s just a parade of visually impressive shots and verbal diarrhea, full of details that add little to the story.

I like Anderson’s bittersweet aftertaste and melancholic “end of an era” kind of atmosphere, but I struggled to stay awake during the second half. The ending felt surprisingly warm, though.
