Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Anderson filmed in Angoulême, France, converting an entire real town into his fictional Ennui-sur-Blasé. Residents still find props in their bakeries.
The film is a love letter to The New Yorker, with characters loosely based on real writers: Frances McDormand's Lucinda channels Mavis Gallant's riot coverage, while Tilda Swinton's art critic riffs on Rosamond Bernier.
