Wes Anderson takes us on a beautiful tour through the works of Roald Dahl in the same way that Baz Luhrmann (Gatsby) and David Fincher (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) took us through the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald: The tone of the text reminded me very "Tales from the Jazz Age", in the rich setting, in the sincere construction of the characters, in the tone of the time inseparable from their mannerisms.
Dahl, like Fitzgerald, presents us with human beings dealing with the unusual, acting, reacting and making decisions based on what immediate reality presents them, and Wes Anderson managed to capture the nature of the text in a peculiar way.
Ben Kingsley and Dev Patel present themselves naturally and completely at ease in the format chosen by Wes to tell us the story: first-person narration, constant breaking of the fourth wall, interactive theatrical scenarios... A beautiful, frank and objective composition, focused on the text.
Without a doubt something worthy of attention and affection.
