Netflix users rejoice! The highly acclaimed and utterly enchanting Wes Anderson film is now available for streaming on the platform. Released in 2023, this science fiction comedy drama, titled Asteroid City, was written, directed, and produced by Anderson himself, alongside Roman Coppola. The star-studded cast includes Hollywood favorites like Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Tilda Swinton, and many more.
The film follows a play set in a retrofuturistic version of 1955, centered around a Junior Stargazer convention. But as Anderson's signature style goes, there's a twist - the making of the play becomes the subject of a television documentary. With a plot that involves extraterrestrials and UFO sightings in the American Southwestern desert, after World War II, it's no wonder viewers are already intrigued.
During its theatrical release, Asteroid City raked in a whopping $54 million worldwide, despite its modest budget of $25 million. And it's no surprise, as the film received widespread praise from both critics and viewers alike. With a 76% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it's safe to say that Anderson has once again succeeded in captivating audiences.
The Guardian described the film as "eccentric," "elegant," and "gay," while also praising Anderson's attention to detail. New York Magazine also commended his unique style, stating that "there is a method to Wes Anderson's madness." Vogue added that the film is a visual treat, with a heartfelt and thought-provoking script that explores themes of parenthood and grief.
But it's not just the critics who are impressed. Viewers have also hailed the film as "unique" and "spectacular." And now, just in time for the weekend, Asteroid City is available on Netflix for fans and new viewers to enjoy.
In an interview, Bryan Cranston, best known for his role as Walter White in Breaking Bad, admitted that he often found Anderson's prescriptive auteur style confusing. As the narrator in the film, he revealed that he had to read the script multiple times to fully understand the story. But despite the challenges, Cranston called the movie a "nice surprise" and a testament to Anderson's talent as a filmmaker.
