Yes!!!!!!! Everyone read @isaacfeldberg.bsky.social convo with Wes Anderson!!!!!!

Isaac Feldberg @isaacfeldberg.bsky.social · 6d

Pinch-me moment: I asked the one and only Wes Anderson about his first ten films, on the occasion of a new boxset from @criterion.bsky.social, for @letterboxd.social. A dream, as ever, to spend time with his intrepid and stylistically singular body of work; one of my very favorite filmmakers.

Magnificent Andersons: Wes Anderson on 25 years of filmmaking craft and collaboration—and his new Criterion set • Journal • A Letterboxd Magazine

As a major new Criterion box set of his work hits shelves, Wes Anderson tells Isaac Feldberg about a quarter-century of filmmaking: via Rushmore, Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel and more.

The more I thought about A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE, the less I gravitated toward it, to the point that I barely remember anything about it.

Here are my thoughts on Kathryn Bigelow's latest film.

'A House of Dynamite' Review

A TNT thriller that feels below Bigelow

Got a chance to see SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE and you bet I immediately went to read @812filmreviews.com and @djmecca.bsky.social reviews out of Telluride. I suggest you all do the same.
