Great news, hopefully the score tracks won't have dialogue over them on the score album.

Wes Anderson's control of cinema frame space is stunning and marvelous. This film is a visual pleasure even if you find the tale (and the layers of its self-commenting style) to be less than satisfying. And there are plenty of great gags - the loudest laugh from the audience I saw it with tonight is the way someone poses for a picture. My favorite joke that nobody seemed to catch was a martini dispensing machine which delivered a perfectly small plop of vermouth.
My favorite Desplat cue is quite Philip Glass-like, which fits the "spacey" theme of the movie. Lots of country and western songs float throughout the running time - many of them performed by a stranded cowboy band. The main and end title song, "Freight Train" is still running though my head. And we can't forget "Dear Alien (Who Art in Heaven)" - get up in the aisles and dance to it!.

I´d love to buy the soundtrack - but in the German apple store it is not available and in the German amazon store it is only available as a streaming option, not to buy.

I found this film to be an achingly lovely reflection on the search outward and the search inward. Many of the actors in this are doing so such "small parts" and some of their best work yet (Tom Hanks and Scarlett Johansson especially). Alexandre Desplat's score was marvelous to the picture. It's very clear the influence from Close Encounters of the Third Kind in both the story about the father trying to grieve yet make some kind of connection to anyone/anything, as well as Desplat's simply music motif.
Beautiful review, thank you! Nice to read from someone who appreciates Wes Anderson, too.

Beautiful review, thank you! Nice to read from someone who appreciates Wes Anderson, too.
I've been a devoted Anderson fan since seeing both Bottle Rocket and Rushmore thanks to my sister around 1999 or 2000. He's one of the best American filmmakers in my lifetime. I don't think he 's made a film I have disliked, though some I like more than others. Asteroid City is among the top, in my opinion. While I enjoyed many sequences in The French Dispatch, it left me more perplexed and amused than enlightened. The finale of Asteroid City left a big lump in my throat. While I did feel perplexed about the framing story when departing the theater, I can't help but think about it, fondly, again and again now days later.
Looking forward to this so much!
I recently rewatched THE DARJEELING LIMITED, and I noticed so many more things in its intricate story and arrangement of visuals. Anderson, also to me, really is one of the greatest filmmakers around, and highly underrated. The emotional content of his films is not stressed or forced on the viewer, and maybe that’s why some consider his stories artificial or cold.

Thoughtful words on The Darjeeling Limited, one of my favorites of his since I saw it in theaters. I am a sibling, myself, and my lifelong best friend is from a family with three sons. I saw so much of myself and my friend's experiences in that movie. And even more so after I lost my parents. It is a movie that sticks with me. Even the "cultural tourism" goes over the head of the discerning viewer ready to criticize cultural depictions or appropriation. It is part of the character's journeys to understand that the place they chose to travel to carries a hefty baggage for Westerners seeking to "find themselves."
Absolutely agreed. And it is very clear, I believe, that Anderson is amused by these three travellers whose idea of India is as inaccurate as their idea of their own personalities.

I like both Desplat ( In fact I find him ,along with Williams,the most sophisticated moviecomposer there is today?) and in parts Wes Anderson.But for my taste his movies get lost sometimes in the visuals....the story serves the visuals and not vice versa .
Only my opinion though.
I think it’s the other way around.
