Is there a director on earth who can get that much talent for a film?

This reminds me that I never saw Asteroid City. Understand it wasn't great but still need to see it.

Well Jason Schwartzman, the Wilson brothers, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, and Edward Norton aren't in it. So yeah, "some".

I thought Asteroid City was really good, you should definitely check it out.

This looks more like Asteroid City or Grand Budapest Hotel vs. French Dispatch which was a collection of stories.

I enjoyed all of these.  Looking forward to this one too.

I didn't get through French Dispatch or Asteroid City, and I've loved most of Anderson's work. I think he's losing his balance between formalism and actual emotional content as far as engaging his audience. Viewing the movies as experimental film, one could definitely argue there's an importance to Anderson's work.

Moonrise Kingdom and the Grand Budapest Hotel are both excellent. They both have real relationships amid the self-conscious style. His work since then has disappointed me. I've also not been a fan of his animated work, but that could just be a RomaVicta thing as animation in general must be very good to interest me. Maybe like black and white movies for anyone under 40.

I'll surely give this movie a try. It appears that the relationship between del Toro and the nun could match those between the bell hop and Ralph Fiennes or any number of relationships in Moonrise Kingdom. 

For reference, Rushmore is one of my favorite movies. Bottle Rocket is a gem that I didn't like much the first viewing but, remarkably, enjoyed it more and more with each subsequent viewing. The Life Aquatic actually brought tears to my eyes as he completely nailed the mind of a boy back when Jacques Cousteau was known to everyone. The last shot in the submarine just got to me.

 Just some observations.
