There are moments when watching a Wes Anderson film—particularly his latest, the remarkable Asteroid City—feels like witnessing stop motion in real time. There’s a sense that a giant pair of invisible hands are hovering above the screen’s tableau, arranging pieces to such minute degrees that the movement itself is imperceptible to the eye.
