Timothée Chalamet Takes a Moody Bath in New Clip from 'The French Dispatch'
Frances McDormand makes an appearance, too.
Wes Anderson has shared a preview of his latest film, The French Dispatch, which premiered at Cannes Film Festival to a nine-minute standing ovation. The clip, published by Vanity Fair, gives fans a glimpse at a bathtub scene involving two of the flick’s biggest stars: Timothée Chalamet and Frances McDormand.
Chalamet, who plays a young revolutionary named Zeffirelli, is drafting a manifesto in the bath when McDormand — portraying journalist Lucinda Krementz — enters to rinse her face after a riot exposes her to tear gas. Zeffirelli asks Krementz to proofread his work (“My parents think you’re a good writer,” he says), only to react indignantly to her edits.
All plot aside, Chalamet fans will likely delight at one particular line, delivered after Krementz pulls back the tub’s shower curtain to reveal a soaking Zeffirelli: “Please turn away. I feel shy about my new muscles.”
Head to Vanity Fair to watch the bathtub scene from The French Dispatch, set to release in theaters this fall.
