17 of the Best Quotes from The French Dispatch (2021)

Wes Anderson’s latest film, the aesthetically pleasing comedy The French Dispatch, is another star-studded affair to add to the auteur’s oeuvre. Split into three parts, the film is described by the director as a love letter to journalists – in this case, those of a fictional newspaper in a 20th-century French town (aptly called Ennui-sur-Blasé). Owen Wilson’s laid-back, easygoing character introduces viewers to the setting in a humorously matter-of-fact way, adding tidbits of insider information to help the audience settle into this new world – though it will feel familiar to Wes Anderson fans.

The first of the three anthology-style parts, “The Concrete Masterpiece”, takes place in a prison, where Benicio Del Toro’s Rosenthaler is serving time for murder. He’s also in a relationship with a prison guard (Léa Seydoux), whom he paints. These abstract works of art become extremely valuable, though nobody can understand why – in fact, nobody can understand what Rosenthaler is depicting in his paintings.

The second part, “Revisions to a Manifesto”, is inspired by the French student protests of May 68. French Dispatch journalist Lucinda Krementz (Frances McDormand) is reporting on the revolution when she meets the precocious Zeffirelli (Timothée Chalamet). She helps the self-proclaimed leader of the revolution with his manifesto.

The film concludes with “The Private Dining Room of the Police Commissioner”, an action-packed sequence involving criminal syndicates, a kidnapping, and haute cuisine. This time, it’s food writer Roebuck Wright (Jeffrey Wright) recounting his experience of dining with The Commissaire of the Ennui police force on a televised interview.

This lively slice of fiction is an immersive viewing experience full of humor, thoroughly developed settings, and a motley of intriguing characters. Here are some of the best quotes from this latest foray into Wes Anderson’s cinematic world.

  1. Narrator: It began as a holiday. Arthur Howitzer Jr., a college freshman, eager to escape a bright future on the Great Plains, convinced his father, proprietor of the Liberty Kansas Evening Sun, to fund his transatlantic passage as an educational opportunity to learn the family business through the production of a series of travelogue columns to be published for local readers in the Sunday Picnic magazine … Over the next ten years, he assembled a team of the best expatriate journalists of his time and transformed Picnic into The French Dispatch, a factual weekly report on … world politics, the arts – high and low – fashion, fancy cuisine, fine drink … He brought the world to Kansas.
  2. Narrator: One reporter [was] known as the best living writer in quality of sentences per minute. One who never completed a single article but haunted the halls cheerily for three decades. One privately blind writer who wrote keenly through the eyes of others.
  3. Narrator: His most repeated literary advice …
    Arthur Howitzer Jr.: Just try to make it sound like you wrote it that way on purpose.
  4. Alumna: Berensen’s article: ‘The Concrete Masterpiece’.
    Proofreader: Three dangling participles, two split infinitives, and nine spelling errors in the first sentence alone.
    Arthur Howitzer Jr.: Some of those are intentional.
  5. Alumna: The Krementz story, ‘Revisions to a Manifesto’.
    Story editor: We asked for 2500 words, and she came in at 14,000 plus footnotes, endnotes, a glossary, and two epilogues.
    Arthur Howitzer Jr.: It’s one of her best.
  6. Alumna: Sazerac?
    Legal advisor: Impossible to fact-check. He changes all the names and only writes about hobos, pimps, and junkies.
    Arthur Howizter Jr.: These are his people.
  7. Mitch-Mitch: A message from the foreman: one hour to press.
    Arthur Howitzer Jr.: You’re fired.
    Mitch-Mitch: Really?
    Arthur Howitzer Jr.: Don’t cry in my office.
  8. Herbsaint Sazerac: All great beauties withhold their deepest secrets.
  9. Arthur Howitzer Jr.: ‘Rats, vermin, gigolos, streetwalkers.’ You don’t think it’s almost too seedy this time?
    Herbsaint Sazerac: No, I don’t.
    Arthur Howitzer Jr.: For decent people?
    Herbsaint Sazerac: It’s supposed to be charming.
  10. Julian Cadazio: All artists sell their work. It’s what makes you an artist, selling it. If you don’t wish to sell it, don’t paint it.
  11. Julian Cadazio: I can only offer a deposit of eighty-three centimes, one candied chestnut, and four cigarettes. Everything I have at this present moment in time.
  12. Julian Cadazio: Modern art. Our specialty. Starting now.
    Uncle Joe: I don’t get it.
    Julian Cadazio: Of course, you don’t.
    Uncle Joe: Am I too old?
    Julian Cadazio: Of course you are.
    Uncle Nick: Why is this [painting] good?
    Julian Cadazio: It isn’t good. Wrong idea.
    Uncle Nick: That’s no answer.
    Julian Cadazio: My point. You see the girl in it?
    Uncle Nick: No.
    Julian Cadazio: Trust me. She’s there.
  13. Julian Cadazio: We all know this man is a murderer. Totally guilty of first-degree homicide, any way you slice it. That’s a given. However, he’s also that rare, once-in-a-generation guy that you hear about but never get the chance to discover for yourself: an artistic genius. Surely, there ought to be a double standard for this sort of predicament.
  14. Lucinda Krementz: [Zeffirelli] is not an invincible comet, speeding on its guided arc toward the outer reaches of the galaxy in cosmic space-time. Rather, he is a boy who will die young. He will drown on this planet in the steady current of the deep, dirty, magnificent river that flows night and day through the veins and arteries of his own ancient city. His parents will receive a telephone call at midnight, dress briskly, mechanically, and hold hands in the silent taxi as they go to identify the body of their cold son. His likeness, mass-produced and shrink-wrap packaged, will be sold like bubblegum to the hero-inspired who hope to see themselves like this. The touching narcissism of the young.
  15. Lt. Nescaffier: They had a flavor. The toxic salts in the radishes – they had a flavor. Something unfamiliar to me. Like a bitter, moldy, peppery, spicy, oily kind of earth. I’ve never tasted that taste in my life. Not entirely pleasant, extremely poisonous, but still, a new flavor. That’s a rare thing in my age.
  16. Roebuck Wright: People may or may not be threatened by your anger, your hatred, your pride. But love the wrong way, and you will find yourself in great jeopardy.

  17. Lt. Nescaffier: I’m a foreigner, you know.
    Roebuck Wright: This city is full of us, isn’t it? I’m one myself.
    Lt. Nescaffier: Seeking something missing, missing something left behind.
    Roebuck Wright: Maybe with good luck, we’ll find what eluded us in the places we once called home.

18 Unsettling Stills from Us (2019)

Jordan Peele’s follow-up to Get Out, which is widely considered to be one of the best films of 2017, traverses similar territory in a highly stylized fashion. Us is, on the surface, a horror film about a family who goes on vacation to find that they’re being pursued by their own doppelgangers. At the heart of the plot is Adelaide Wilson (Lupita Nyong’o), who is hesitant to return to Santa Cruz after experiencing a traumatic event at the beach in her childhood. Now an adult, she tries to protect her children (Shahadi Wright Joseph, Evan Alex) and husband (Winston Duke) from the horrors that only she can see.

When confronted with her doppelganger – named Red for the red jumpsuit she and the others wear – Adelaide recalls memories from her childhood, like watching a Hands Across America commercial and becoming a dancer. While the Wilsons attempt to outrun and outsmart Red, the subplot begins to unfold and overtake the high-stakes thriller that lures audiences into what is actually a clever political drama.

While the message becomes clearer and clearer as the story progresses, viewers can enjoy the suspense, drama, and cinematic wonder of the film from beginning to end. Here are eighteen unsettling stills from this aesthetically pleasing horror film.

Why It’s Important To Look At Reviews Before Buying CBD Products

There are many different types of CBD products out there and it can be hard to differentiate between them all, especially if you are new to the market. You must understand what type of CBD product you’re looking for before buying it. Read on to find out why!

Different Sativa Strains

When it comes to CBD products, you can find everything from oils and tinctures to creams and edibles. With such a wide variety of products available, it can be tough to figure out which one is right for you. One thing you can do is read reviews of different CBD products before purchasing them. This will give you a good idea of what the product is like and how it will work for you, especially if you find guidance on a leading cannabis social platform where people gather to talk about CBD. A lot of different people have different experiences with CBD, which is why this is the best option if you want to figure out which Sativa strain is best for you and which CBD product you want.

The Different Types Of CBD Products

There are many different types of CBD products, as previously mentioned. Some popular products include oils, tinctures, creams, gummies, cartridges, edibles, waxes/dabs, vape pens, and even beverages. With so many options to choose from, it can be difficult to decide on a product type. It’s recommended to learn about each product type before making a decision. If you’re not sure where to start learning about them, look at reviews online or ask your friends or family members what they use and why they like it.

What Reviewers Are Saying About The Products

Reading reviews of CBD products is a great way to learn about the product before purchasing it. Reviewers will give you their honest opinion of the product and what they liked or didn’t like about it. This can be very helpful in making your decision on whether to purchase the product or not. When looking at reviews of CBD products, there are some things you should keep in mind. First, make sure that the reviewer has actually used the product and is not just guessing about what it’s like. Second, pay attention to what the reviewer likes and doesn’t like about the product. This can help you decide if the product is right for you. Finally, make sure that the review is unbiased and not sponsored by the company.

The Effects of CBD

One of the things you’ll want to pay attention to when reading reviews of CBD products is the effects that the product has. Some products may have a stronger effect than others. It’s important to find a product that matches your needs. If you’re looking for something that will help with anxiety, then you’ll want to look for a product that has strong anti-anxiety effects. If you’re looking for something to help with pain, then you’ll want to look for a product with strong pain-relieving effects. Keep in mind that everyone’s body is different and will respond differently to CBD products. You may need to try a few different products before finding the one that works best for you. 

The Benefits of CBD

Another thing that you’ll want to pay attention to is what the product does for its users. CBD products can offer relief from a variety of different conditions and symptoms. Read reviews of CBD products online to find out the benefits it offers the people who use them. You may even be able to find some reviews from doctors or other medical professionals. 

If you have a condition, illness, or symptom that has not responded well to other treatments, then you should look into whether or not there are any CBD products that might help you with your condition. Also, keep in mind that the benefits of CBD products may vary from person to person. You may not experience the same benefits as someone else who uses the same product.

With so many different types of CBD products available on the market today, it can be difficult trying to figure out what type is right for your needs. CBD products have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. They offer a range of potential benefits, from relieving pain to reducing anxiety. However, with such a wide variety of CBD products on the market, it can be tough to decide which one is right for you. One thing you can do is read reviews of different CBD products before purchasing them. This will give you a good idea of what the product is like and how it will work for you.

A Useful Guide On How To Properly Use CBD Oil To Relieve Pain

A Useful Guide On How To Properly Use CBD Oil To Relieve Pain

CBD is one of the Cannabis plant’s main components, along with THC. Unlike THC however, CBD is non-psychoactive, which means one can enjoy its many benefits without experiencing an intense and uncomfortable high. Doctors from around the world have praised CBD for its therapeutic effects and health benefits, particularly when it comes to the treatment of chronic pain disorders. Full-spectrum CBD [which does contain THC] has been compared in efficacy to a number of prescription-strength pharmaceutical analgesics, like codeine for example.

If you want a natural painkiller that contains no harmful additives, then CBD is for you.

Here’s how you can use it to relieve pain.

Consider Strength

One of the first things to consider when you’re shopping for CBD is strength. If you are going to treat a pain disorder, you will need to find potent CBD oils, preferably full-spectrum ones. Full-spectrum oils contain THC, but not enough to produce a high. They are extremely effective and work as anti-inflammatories and analgesics. In addition, they are fast-acting. You need to find an oil that’s strong enough to deal with your pain effectively, so run-of-the-mill CBD won’t do. If you’re confused about what strength you need, speak to your physician or alternatively get in touch with an online dispensary and ask for their advice.

Organic Ingredients

If you are going to use CBD as a painkiller, then the chances are that you don’t want to use pharmaceutical painkillers, probably because of their harmful ingredients. It’s important, if this is the case, to only purchase organic CBD. There’s no point in investing in non-organic CBD, because it will contain pesticides, additives, and potentially harmful ingredients. In addition to looking for a CBD oil that is derived from organic plants, you also need to find one that has been extracted without using solvents. Manufacturers will tell you whether oil is organic or not on the product’s packaging. You can also email them and ask them for advice, if you can’t find this information yourself.

Product Cost

CBD oil can be expensive, but there are ways that you can save money. One of the best ways to avoid paying full-price for CBD products is to buy them during sale season or alternatively apply a coupon at checkout. Most CBD retailers offer coupons in order to make their products more affordable to people who are on low incomes. If you can’t find any coupon codes, then see if your chosen dispensary has a sale section and buy CBD from there. With Christmas fast approaching, it’s very likely that your chosen dispensary will be holding some kind of sale. Be wary of websites that offer extremely low prices on their CBD products, however. Even when it’s discounted, CBD should still be somewhat expensive.

Consider Dosage

Once you have found a CBD product that you’re interested in buying, you need to plan out how much you will be taking. In order to take the right amount, you will likely need to work out your height and weight. You can do this at home or by visiting your physician. You should also speak to a healthcare professional in order to work out exactly how much you should be taking for your condition. In addition to planning your exact dosage, you also need to plan out how often you will be taking CBD.

Other Products

In addition to oils, there are many other CBD products that you can buy. It’s worth considering different product types if you aren’t enthused with the idea of taking an oil several times a day. With that said, you can make your own CBD products with CBD oil. You can use it to cook or you can apply it to water, assuming that you have purchased a water-soluble oil. If you would rather buy products ready to consume, then here are your options:

Vapes

Vapes were originally designed as a way for people to quit smoking, but can now be used for the consumption of CBD and THC. CBD vape capsules are fast-acting and are just as effective as CBD oil.

Ointments

CBD is a powerful anti-inflammatory and can be used to treat a number of different skin conditions. If you are suffering from a skin condition, then you may want to buy CBD in ointment or lotion form.

Gummies

Gummies are edible CBD sweets that contain concentrated CBD oil. If you want to consume CBD but don’t want to apply oil to your drink or tongue, then gummies are a great alternative.

CBD is a very effective painkiller as long as it is taken carefully and responsibly, as part of a wider treatment plan. Make sure to work out your treatment plan with a healthcare provider, so that you find one that’s perfect for you. In addition, do your best to live a healthy lifestyle.
