Dir. Wes Anderson. 2023, U.S. 104 mins. DCP. With Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Jeffrey Wright, Tilda Swinton, Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Adrien Brody. Asteroid City, a fictional American desert town circa 1955. The itinerary of a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention (organized to bring together students and parents from across the country for fellowship and scholarly competition) is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events. Anderson’s aesthetic control, rapturous beauty, and complex storytelling approach have never been more impressively wrought than in this wildly complex reimagination of the 1950s as a world of the mind. A Focus Features release.
