It shares the storybook precision, chaptered literary sensibility and bittersweet humor, with a large eccentric ensemble rendered in exquisitely controlled tableaux.
Why this pick
Its candy-colored French artifice, romantic playfulness and choreographed visual exuberance offer a key cinematic cousin to The French Dispatch’s stylized Francophilia.
Why this pick
Its freewheeling chain of absurd episodes has the same pleasure in deadpan surrealism and elegant formal play, though with a sharper satirical edge.
