![]() What “The French Dispatch” celebrates is something more specific than everyday newspapering and also something more capacious. Moral crusades are as alien to Anderson’s sensibility as drab khakis. The movie is not Wes Anderson’s version of “ Spotlight,” in which humbly dressed reporters heroically take on power, injustice and corruption. Ever since it showed up in Cannes this past summer, “ The French Dispatch” has been described as “ a love letter to journalism.” This isn’t inaccurate - you love to see it when deadline scribblers are played by the likes of Jeffrey Wright, Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton - but it’s nonetheless a little misleading.
