AndersonsIn the Lost Landslooks like nothing Ive ever seen before.
But there are also cowboys and witches and werewolves and giant skeleton monsters.
This odd, distanced atmosphere is intentional.
The whole thing is marvelously unreal.
You might find yourself wanting to lose yourself in it.
Its also somewhat uncharacteristic for this filmmaker.
Im not entirely sure.
(One particularly climactic set piece looks fantastic but also feels like its over before it even starts.)
Partly its because Anderson is more interested in the growing bond between Gray Alys and Boyce.
Somehow, though, it all makes sense within the composed, fairy-tale simplicity of this world.
Its all so metal it hurts.
