Wes Anderson’s ‘love letter to journalists’ gives us five articles from the eponymous newspaper, including the obituary of the editor and a piece by its travel writer (played by Anderson regulars Bill Murray and Owen Wilson respectively). The three other ‘articles’ cover a convicted murder turned artist, who gets his female jailer to pose naked for him, a student revolutionary and a gay, black food critic’s story of the police chief with the vital task of providing the police with special food. All done with Anderson’s usual wit and visual flair.
