Wes Anderson's 'Asteroid City' dazzles at Cannes with personal touch.

Wes Anderson's latest film, Asteroid City, proves that there's no one quite like him in the film industry. The movie is a visually opulent re-creation of the midcentury American Southwest, circa 1955, and features an ensemble cast that perfectly delivers Anderson's eccentric dialogue. The film's ingenious framing device, which has actors playing actors playing actors, sets all the characters against each other in ways that boost Asteroid City, turning it into something richer than the perfectly amiable desert charmer that the trailers convey. Asteroid City will open in limited theatrical release in America on June 16, and in wide release on June 23.
