The French Dispatch: did the painter Moses Rosenthaler really exist?
This Tuesday, June 28, Canal+ will broadcast Wes Anderson’s latest film, The French Dispatch, from 9:10 p.m. A feature film which notably tells the story of the painter Moses Rosenthaler, a psychopathic artist detained in prison for homicide.
Wes Anderson fans, it’s time to get Canal+ codes! This Tuesday, the encrypted channel will broadcast The French Dispatch, a film by Wes Anderson in which different stories from an American magazine published in an invented French city are staged. Among them, that of the painter Moses Rosenthaler, who is serving a prison sentence for homicide. The somewhat disturbed artist, played by Benicio del Toro, gradually sinks into loneliness, to the point of having suicidal desires. It is then that he meets Simone, played by Léa Seydoux, a prison guard who starts posing naked for him and becomes his muse, as well as his lover. This meeting will allow Moses Rosenthaler to regain a taste for life, and for painting, in which he excels.. A story for the least singular which questions as to its degree of veracity. At the risk of disappointing some viewers, it is completely drawn from the imagination of Wes Anderson. As for the paintings that can be seen in the film, they were made by the German-New Zealand painter Sandro Kopp.
The French Dispatch: a dream cast
As usual, Wes Anderson surrounded himself with his favorite actors for his film. We thus find the regulars, like Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman or even Adrien Brody. The cast also gives pride of place to Frenchies since there are Léa Seydoux, Lyna Khoudri, Mathieu Amalric, Denis Ménochet and even Félix Moati.
