Premise
The film has been described as "a love letter to journalists set at an outpost of an American newspaper in a fictional 20th-century French city", centering on three storylines.[3] It brings to life a collection of tales published in the eponymous The French Dispatch.[4] The film is inspired by Anderson's love of The New Yorker, and some characters and events in the film are based on real-life equivalents from the magazine.[5] One of the three storylines centers the May 68 student occupation protests, with Chalamet's and Khoudri's characters being two of the student protesters.[6]
When speaking to French publication Charente Libre in April 2019, Anderson said "The story is not easy to explain, [It’s about an] American journalist based in France [who] creates his magazine. It is more a portrait of this man, of this journalist who fights to write what he wants to write. It's not a movie about freedom of the press, but when you talk about reporters you also talk about what’s going on in the real world."[7]
