The French Dispatch Cannes Review Featured

CONTEST: See Advanced Screenings of THE FRENCH DISPATCH Across Canada!

Filmmaker Wes Anderson’s latest star-studded ensemble with The French Dispatch doesn’t arrive in theatres until later this month, but That Shelf wants to send you and a friend to advanced screenings of the film happening in Toronto and Vancouver (Oct 20), Calgary (Oct 27) and Montreal (Oct 28) courtesy of Searchlight Pictures!

The Isle of Dogs, Grand Budapest Hotel, and Moonrise Kingdom director returns with a cavalcade of A-listers for his next comedy, described as a love letter to a bygone era of journalism. The French Dispatch features many of Anderson’s regular partners-in-crime, including Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton, as well as newcomers like Timothée Chalamet and Benicio Del Toro. The film promises a madcap travelogue and Anderson’s signature quirkiness. Read our full Cannes 2021 review here.
