Overview

• German theatrical release begins 25 September, following a Los Angeles premiere earlier in the month.
• Critics frame the near‑future action‑satire as a pointed commentary on an authoritarian turn in the U.S., invoking images of detention camps and domestic militarization.
• The film blends action, dark comedy and family drama around an ex‑revolutionary and his daughter pursued by a militarized antagonist.
• Shot on large‑format 35mm (VistaVision) with a runtime around 161–162 minutes, the movie earns praise for Michael Baumann’s photography and Jonny Greenwood’s score.
• Anderson’s screenplay loosely adapts Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland, and some reports cite an estimated $150 million budget that has not been independently confirmed.
