I’ve pretty much adopted the view that anything I read may not be true. In a world saturated with information it seems horrendous to have to think that way, but there we are. Most outlets only care for clicks, a few have integrity, check facts, and try to be accurate. Sad!
That said, here’s a rumor I’m about 80% sure is true. 😂

I saw this quote out of context and I was ready to make fun of him but, something that IndieWire should understand but just doesn’t care because clicks are more important to them, is that context is everything! It’s a great paragraph and maybe (he actually haven’t watched the thing!) it really applies to Henry Sugar and certainly was what Anderson was trying to said. No, kids, he wasn’t “shading” Netflix suggesting he did an inferior work only because it is a short so he gave his “no really movie” to them. Again, context, the whole quote was about how much he wanted to adapt that story in particular and how Dahl’s family initially didn’t sell the rights of it because they promised it to him but he was trying to find the best way to do it for ages and at the end he decided it needed to be a short about “words”. It’s “no a movie” because even when it is, apparently, a long film it’s formed by four shorts, with Henry Sugar being the longest, not thematically related between them like the stories in The French Dispatch were. www.indiewire.com/features/commentary/french-new-wave-lessons-filmmaking-1234875922/But still Cahiers du Cinema, which maybe it’s not what it used to be (another quote in the piece: “ Many of its original participants got their start in film criticism. Cahiers du Cinema (which, over the course of changing ownership a few times, has sadly lost its cultural relevance today)”) got it first and much more complete: they published that it will be four shorts not related between them apart of they be Dahl adaptations and the cast; and even in the USA, The Daily Beast published the same day a much more detailed quote saying the same that the French magazine.

Brief comment by Rupert Friend in this interview. Not too much but he talks about it. Also, it’s funny he is specifically asked about ‘Henry Sugar’ because, if they will be treated like independent shorts, he isn’t really in ‘Henry Sugar’ but in two other shorts

Ralph Fiennes is indeed playing Roald Dahl! That’s why he is the in all the stories! (I still not sure about The Mildenhall Treasure being the fourth story but that’s a true story in which, apart of writing it, Dahl was personally involved). In Henry Sugar, we have an author who is listening about Henry Sugar’s life in voice of his closest friends. Apart of that, Anderson considers there a isn’t too much connection between the fourth stories contrary to The French Dispatch. Then he kinda presumed his narrative in the movie is unique and it doesn’t exist in any other film yet! Very humble of him! 😉 Also he says that his next film is starred by Benicio Del Toro so maybe Michael Cera is in it but the main character should be Del Toro. That’s the film/script he says he wanted to be very dark but ended being funny. That’s what I understood with my rudimentary French! I should write for copy and paste sites! I mean it seems I get information much quickly than them! He also mentioned the father-daughter relationship in the interview, by the way. A lot of people still don’t get the memo that his Roald Dahl film isn’t just one 40 minute short but four and there are even some people who think it’s animation! And they are kinda being dismissing with it because they really can’t appreciate short films nor animation!

Anderson talks about his collection of shorts movies based on Roald Dahl and made for Netflix at 00:14:30. Now he says “Henry Sugar” is 40 minutes long!
The whole video is wonderful. He is very excited! He clearly loves cinema and I think it’s obvious because his eclectic taste on films. He is like Scorsese and the opposite of someone like Tarantino, who don’t get me wrong, has done a lot for the movies and directors he likes but I feel he tries really hard to justify his taste for movies popularly considered bad talking about the much more respected films and artists he hates. That’s kinda pathetic!
Also, Anderson mentions one Mexican film, Buñuel’s Simon of the Desert!
