“What I like to do is go to a place and have us all live there and become a real local sort of production, like a little theater company - everything works better for me that way,” said Anderson, who lives in Paris. “The French Dispatch,” about writers at a midcentury magazine based on The New Yorker, is set in the fictional town of Ennui-sur-Blasé and was filmed in Angoulême, France.
