Asteroid City

"You can't wake up if you don't fall asleep"

Directed by Wes Anderson

Produced by Indian Paintbrush, American Empirical Pictures

A meticulously constructed, visually stylized meditation on grief, meaning, and storytelling set in a 1950s desert town where an alien encounter disrupts a space convention and forces characters to confront loss and existential uncertainty.

In an American desert town circa 1955, the itinerary of a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events.
