What does “insists upon itself” mean as film criticism? I thought that was a Family Guy joke about Peter wanting to criticise The Godfather but not having the vocabulary to back it up.
Agree that Wes Anderson is on a trajectory where each additional movie is becoming more of a distillation of his style over any actual substance. I still enjoy them for what they are though; each scene is like a miniature diorama.
Don’t know, I’ve never watched Family Guy. It means it’s trying to pretend it has deeper meanings but just comes off as shallow and pretentious. It’s a film of “Anderson-isms” with nothing of substance to show.
