The French Dispatch is the most Wes Anderson film we've ever had, and to thank for that, we have Robert Yeoman, one of the best and most established cinematographers working today. With a mix of French New Wave and modernism, Anderson and Yeoman have managed to elevate the visual style of The Grand Budapest Hotel, and give us something we all wanted.

So, in today's video, I briefly go over the equipment Yeoman used, look at the influence behind the look, talk about the visual continuity between the three stories and Anderson’s films as a whole, and then delve into each major story, looking at the couple aspects that I like about the cinematograph style and what it adds to the story.

As always if you have a recommendation for an analysis, let me know below!
