“Isle of Dogs,” (2018) August 4, 2018, DVD at home. Bronwen really wanted to see this Wes Anderson animated bi-lingual piece about canine oppression in a Japanese prefecture, the dogs removal to trash island by an evil prefecture after they develop a disease, and the dogs culture on the island. She liked it and found it funny. Me? Well, not so much on the funny side. I found it more a fascinating conceit reflecting so many of the tropes of traditional Japanese samurai films. It was interesting and fun to watch, is well voiced in both Japanese (without subtitles but sometimes with translation) and English (the dog’s language) by lots of excellent actors. Everyone from Scarlett Johanson, Tilda Swinton, Bryan Cranston, and Bill Murray to Yoko Ono get into the act. Well worth the viewing, especially for fans of Anderson’s other work.
