You better not be grappling with the ineffable wonder of the human condition when I get back!
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Asteroid City.Near the beginning of Wes Anderson’s wonderful new movie, Asteroid City, war photographer Augie Steenbeck brings his car to the titular town’s mechanic . The mechanic tells him that there are two possible reasons Augie’s car broke down. The first requires a simple replacement of a cheap part, and the second means his car is permanently broken.
In Asteroid City, however, Anderson’s favorite themes of loneliness and emotional repression take on an existential bent. Both layers of the film’s narrative - Asteroid City itself, and the televised behind-the-scenes framing device around it - engage with what it means to find yourself adrift and uncertain in a world that seems to have spun off its axis.
Jason Schwartzman's Characters Anchor the Film's Theme The most compelling arc of all belongs to Augie himself - as well as that of his in-universe actor, Jones Hall. Augie is the newest of Anderson’s many aloof father figures, and he manages to outdo the likes of Steve Zissou and Royal Tenenbaum in terms of sheer emotional constipation.
