This is a Wes Anderson film, which means you're getting his signature whimsical aesthetic and meticulously composed frames—but the plot is deliberately thin and episodic, making it more of a visual experience than a gripping narrative. Watch it tonight if you're in the mood for Anderson's particular brand of indie charm; skip it if you want a story that actually grabs you.

Plot

The staff of an American magazine based in France puts out its last issue, with stories featuring an artist sentenced to life imprisonment, student riots, and a kidnapping resolved by a chef.
