The film shifts into the world of the play with an explosion of vibrant orange and a widening of the frame. The stage production in question is written by famed playwright Conrad Earp (Edward Norton), initially titled “Cosmic Wilderness” and later renamed to the set location of the play, “Asteroid City.” The play’s original title speaks to many of its core themes: confusion, fear, and most of all curiosity. The program offers a behind-the-scenes view into a modern theater production. “Asteroid City” is framed as a narrative within a narrative the film opens with a smiling host (Bryan Cranston) introducing a new black-and-white TV program. The experience of an Anderson film typically resembles a planned tour of an oversized dollhouse.Īnderson’s seeming obsession with this specific form of spectacle has led some critics to deride his work as “style over substance,” suggesting that though his films are rich with stylized production, they lack narrative meaning. Pastel colors, symmetrical blocking and set design, ensemble casts, deadpan humor and fourth-wall obliteration are just a few of Anderson’s aesthetic go-tos. In fact, Anderson’s visual style is so specific that his filmography is arguably a genre unto itself. Visionary filmmaker Wes Anderson returned to theaters June 22 with the release of his latest feature, “Asteroid City.” The movie is Anderson’s 11th in his filmography, leaving few movie lovers unfamiliar with the director’s eccentric style by now.
