TSP2023: Asteroid City

Wow, he’s going for really artificial in this movie… I wonder how cinemas did the form factor changes — did they show things either letterboxed or pillarboxed or both?

Now I’m even more confused about the form factors.

I love these shots.

That’s genius.

Fantastic movie — so funny. And the way it’s filmed is unique. Presumably there’s digital elements that’s been composited in, but it’s just hard to tell. Or whether it’s indeed all digital, but I don’t think so? My guess is mostly practical? But totally dreamy.

(It’s a surprisingly traditional movie at the end of the day — they even kill off the gayest character, as if we’re back in the 90s.)

Asteroid City. Wes Anderson. 2023.

Yay! There’s a “making of” on this bluray!

Wow, the town does indeed really exist.

Wow! Even the mountain in the background is kinda real! I totally thought that was a matte painting. (I mean, it’s not real real, but it’s been built.)

Cool.
