Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea. —Henry Fielding

Asteroid City (2023)


I thought the new Wes Anderson film was really charming. And also… I think the theatre thing it's doing really gets at something. I love theatre. Part of what Anderson is trying to think about is what’s real and what’s not. And like… when are our feelings real and when are they not? I love that part of the movie: the part that knows it’s fake, but then asks what we can get through fakery, asks what theatricality can teach us. The more I think about this the more fond of it I am.
