Trust is vital in the relationship between a sharp-minded editor and an emotionally overwrought writer-but that bond is even more intimate when the scribe happens to be presenting his work while nude in a bathtub. Such is the circumstance we encounter with Timothée Chalamet’s precocious revolutionary Zeffirelli and Frances McDormand’s stoic veteran journalist Lucinda Krementz in this exclusive clip from filmmaker Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch, which just premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.
There’s obviously a comfort between them, a familiarity, despite his mild bashfulness about his “new muscles.” So, what’s actually going on in this bathroom, circa May 1968? Anderson himself provides some context:
“This scene comes from the second story in the three main stories of this movie, which is called ‘Revisions to a Manifesto,’” Anderson says. “Mrs. McDormand is Lucinda Krementz, an American journalist who lives in France, and Monsieur Chalamet is called Zeffirelli. He’s a student and Krementz is covering the student protests that have sort of erupted.”
The uprising in the fictional town of Ennui-sur-Blasé is not quite as intense or noble as other civil rights protests around the world from the same era. “They began, we’re told, with the insistence of the students that male students be allowed to visit the girls’ dormitory,” Anderson explains.
That’s the spark that awakened the young activists in that sleepy town-but now things have expanded to encompass other issues, and a kind of revolution is at hand. “It’s then grown into a much bigger protest that is ongoing,” Anderson says. The uprising is a fertile topic for the eponymous newspaper at the center of The French Dispatch, which links the film’s anthology of stories. Krementz has been dispatched as the publication’s special correspondent-but she is also taking a moment to mix business and pleasure.
“Krementz is now at dinner at her friends and neighbors’ house, and they happen to be the parents of one of the student leaders, which is Zeffirelli,” Anderson says. “The end of the dinner is interrupted by a riot in the street where tear gas gets into the apartment, so she has gone into the bathroom to rinse her eyes and is unaware-unknown to the parents, and all of them-that Zeffirelli has actually snuck back home and is taking a bath.”
“And so she discovers him in the bathroom, and that’s the scene between the two of them,” he continues, adding that Zeffirelli probably knows her well already. “She is friends with his parents, but she is also a well-known writer.”
Naturally, the young man uses this opportunity to show Krementz his own thoughts on the revolution. Networking is important when you’re trying to change the world, even if you happen to be without clothes. “I think that gives you the basic situation that we find them in at that point,” Anderson says.
Of course, things soon veer drastically from: Mrs. Krementz, you’re trying to rewrite me…Aren’t you?
Timothee Chalamet has an immense ability to transpose himself into different characters, indeed he's a very- very talented young actor, in his generation he' s almost unique. Bravo Timmy!
Not almost, he is unique!!!!!
He definitely isn’t. But it’s awesome you see it that way
@@tommyboy7598 Everyone on the internet has the right to express his own thoughts, so without contradicting anyone, this is my opinion!
The composition of every frame is impeccable. Each scene could be a stand-alone work of art.
A little rectilinear, in that twee, Andersonian façon. One might be watching any frame out of the oeuvre, including Fantastic Mr. Fox and Isle Of Dogs.
@@JeromeGentes It's better to have his own distinctive style than to follow the rule of thirds, like any frame out of the oeuvre of nearly all other directors.
The dialogue is so good!
It’s fake and boring. It literally doesn’t get any worse.
The dialogue is terrible, so stilted and artificial. Maybe you like it that way. I do not, and I suspect most viewers do not.
@Natali Doleželová I really hate that i don't like wes Anderson's style 😒 I feel like I'm missing out even tho I enjoy many other amazing directors
@@rogerc23 Quote: "It literally doesn’t get any worse." Dialogue can certainly get worse: "Moo." Your misuse of the word "literally" shows you have a poor grasp of language as well as reasoning, not to mention taste, so you shouldn't be lecturing anybody else on dialogue.
@@AbcDef-ww2gy 😂 Bam! Slam! Pow! And every other Batman explicative!
For those who don’t know this: this is a reference to Marat, a revolutionary writer of the French Revolution who was assassinated in his bathtub. He was depicted by the great writer Jacques-Louis David dead in his bathtub, the paper in front of him, the pen still in his hand. He wears a towel around the head exactly like Timothée does here, and bleeds from the chest, which is taken up in the makeup smudge of Frances’ here. David said it was his contribution to the revolution, honouring a fighter who died for the cause by immortalising him.

Frances McDormand’s acting is genius!
I love her.
Je suis d'accord !
Wes Anderson dialogue is always hilarious to me
Yes!
“I feel shy about my new muscles” 😂 The first time I saw this movie in theaters I cried . My tears caught me off guard but at the same time it made sense, especially the last story with Jeff Wright. This was such a riveting film, filled with so much emotion & humanity. & I love the way Murray’s character loved his writers and supported them.
This is the most Wes Anderson dialogue I’ve ever heard
“Pls turn away I feel shy about my new muscles “😂😂😂
Wes Anderson never misses
Never.
he is always amazing
@Nick Headway lol he is literally the director of this movie
@Nick Headway I don't mean to be rude but your comment really confuses me. I don't understand what you're saying
@Nick Headway Okay
Timmy with a moustache is so cool😳🔥
I disagree. It's appealing, but "cool" is not the right word to use. It's like the moustache he wore in the Sportsmax SNL sketch. Very funny, very appealing, very right for the character.
Ha, ha...this is a " moustache toy"...I don't think it can grow him a more serious mustache, he doesn't have a beard either.
Please turn away, I feel sad about my new muscles!!!
HAHAHAHAHH LMAO
*shy. poor guy is just ripped to absolute death. must be exhausting.
I love his voice
Frances McDormand can do no wrong. I love everything she’s been in.
I wish that I was in Cannes.
ughhh me too. I would sell my soul to see him.
I wish I was in it too
I was so I don’t wish anymore, bye.
😍
I was ! The films very good, although it’s not better than Grand Budapest Hotel
omg i can‘t wait for this movie man. frances mcdormand looks incredible
NAKED MUSTACHE TIMMY
Also my pfp is my dad jsyk lmao
Tim is already iconic, he’s gonna go on to make great films
Yes!! Hopefully I can act alongside him one day.
Now that's what you call a superb underrated actress 😍
Wes!!! Frances!!! Timothéey!!! I cannot wait!
Cant wait to see it
I cannot WAIT to see this!
Such pure and magnificent talent!!
can it be october already!!!!?? it’s still months away until it will be released in Europe 😣
Cool scene, almost forgot about it
Don’t criticize my manifesto!
That’s razor sharp - love it
He is so beautiful. and I know someone who looks just like him.
Omg....
First, Chalamet is super talented , has a great ability to transpose himself in different characters, he is unique!...Concernig his look, yes...he' s handsome, but this is like a "bonus" to his talent.
@@lorainev.1295 👏👏👏👏👏👏🌷🌷🌷🌷
@@nelma5512 You forgot the....aubergines ( eggplants in American English) 😄🤑🙃🤣😅
@@lorainev.1295 😱😱😁😁😁😝😄😄😂😂😂 yesssssss....sorry
Frances McDormand has become the kind of actor that could read the back of a cereal box and we would be enthralled. And on a more serious note . . . is that Timothee's pen at 1:05?!
I think is his finger.....i think...
@@josemauricio1553 I think it's his penis. He was supposed to cover it with one hand, with the other holding the notebook, but unfortunately he's too big for one hand. He needed both hands.
when u paused it .. then u see it’s his finger and not his you know. :)
@@AbcDef-ww2gy i hope its his thingy lol
@@xinspiredbyDN Try 0.25x speed and you will reveal the truth lol 1:07. It's huge
Oh Timothee the goat
Hillarious & Bon Gout
I WANT IT NOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW
0:12 😂😂😂
wait the movie is out?? I LITERALLY FORGOT BOUT IT OMGG SHIT
I had to rewind several times to see Timmothee out of the tub
that's gross don't sexualise him even further than he already has been
WHERE CAN I WATCH THIS MOVIE?
Hilarious
💎
Did I just see timmys pp??? 😭😭😭
The whole cigarette in and out of mouth was interesting.
Is that Timothee's peen in the scene? It doesn't look like he covered it with his hand...
I think its his thumb
Go to Settings in the bottom right and slow it down to 0.25 Speed. It looks like his penis. The problem is that it's too big to be covered with one hand. He needed both hands.
Knee-jerk reaction after 50 seconds: each actor has been asked to caricature him/herself. [correction, 1 min later] I discover that it is movie by Wes Anderson. So it is just Wes Anderson caricaturing himself.
Jughead inside of a head.
Timmys british accent is so good
Well, he doesn't have a british accent in "The French Dispatch". You should watch "The King" instead of this film
Where are you from, mate? I believe it's just called having good diction, really.
There is not a single ounce of a British accent coming out of that man in this film, but okay.
He speaks with a normal American accent 😂 not sure why you thought this sounded like a British accent.
It's not as good as Marilyn Monroe in " The Seven Year Itch. "
No, I'm guessing he's more well-endowed than her between the legs.
@@AbcDef-ww2gy They're of two opposite genders! You're comparing apples to oranges!
@@arthurgearheard4701 Didn't you compare first? Ok then. He has more erotic chemistry with a male actor (and a peach!) than her, in the movie Call Me By Your Name. Beat that, Marilyn.
love Timothee....hate French films
@L V I should not say "hate".....I do not enjoy them...especially the way they are produced....no offense
The film is Wes Anderson’s most beautiful visually speaking but such a disappointment in storytelling…
This movie is going to flop harder than Game of Thrones finale. Wanna bet?
Yes, I'll bet. Oh, you've already lost, because the movie already has raves from the critics. It'll probably win awards too. As for being a box-office hit -- no, we don't expect that, because most moviegoers are dumb superhero fans.
it’s a Wes film. they are never massive blockbusters. the dude is practically an art house director who makes quirky films. never have been massive money makers and you sound stupid by implying it will ~flop...are you new???
@@AbcDef-ww2gy And then these same people will go on and whine that cinema and originality is dead and that there's no more good movies like in Le Old Days.
@@AbcDef-ww2gy I'd be careful not to write off moviegoers as dumb superhero fans, as that can be read as snobbish. But aside from that I completely agree. Wes Anderson has such a following that they will turn out to see his film regardless, and plus his respect amongst cinephiles is so strong that they will turn out to watch it. The Grand Budapest Hotel grossed almost 7 times more than its budget. And like you said, it's already winning critics over in Cannes. To question this film's success rate is foolish and narrow-minded
@@sammysoppy3361 His latest film, The Grand Budapest Hotel, grossed almost 7 times more than its budget. Just because he's not making tentpole films, and is known for indie work, doesn't mean he should be written off commercially. There is a real following for him
Thimothee Chalamet Is a WROST PEARSON

@@SaraAhmed-kk6ex I HATE THIMOTHEE CHALAMET
@@salessemala Hating Timothée Chalamet? You have no idea of what you're giving up
