Parole officer Jack Mabry Robert De Niro has only a few weeks left before retirement and wishes to finish out the cases he's been assigned. One such case is that of Gerald "Stone" Creeson Edward Norton , a convicted arsonist who is up for parole. Jack is initially reluctant to indulge Stone in the coarse banter he wishes to pursue and feels little sympathy for the prisoner's pleas for an early release. Seeing little hope in convincing Jack by himself, Stone arranges for his wife, Lucetta Milla Jovovich , to seduce the officer, but motives and intentions steadily blur amidst the passions and buried secrets of the corrupted players in this deadly game of deception.
You could very well try to revel in The French Dispatch in the same way. Something unexpectedly affectionate plays out between these two actors, these two versions of the same man. The French Dispatch offers a counterpoint to this misunderstanding. Anderson is still committed to using artifice to stoke, rather than stifle, pure emotion; he wants to mix and match pleasure with melancholy with humor with the occasional suicidal jag.
Every chapter is a feast. Yet she and the movie nevertheless see the power and promise of those illusions, however vague its sense of the actual politics. This is a story about a murderous genius who signs up for an arts and crafts class, in prison, to keep his hands busy; he is suicidal. He falls in love with a prison guard, Simone Seydoux , as former fellow-inmate Cadazio Brody falls in love with his scrappy, surrealistic paintings.
Much happens. And, per Anderson, one of the most charged and enduring details arrives with so much panache you almost miss it. To the left: the hands of prison officials tallying up the bribes that make this strange excursion possible. This particular storyline is a chronicle that could otherwise, not inaccurately, be written off as yet another Anderson tale of a depressive male romantic and his picture-perfect fantasy-muse.
Impossible to sell. Impossible to reproduce. Unless, of course, you have the money to buy those walls. Romantic, yes; sad, yes; even a little kinky. The Baldwin-inspired final chapter, about Roebuck Wright, somehow outdoes it.
Still, he lands on something special in this chapter. His wife, Madylyn Frances Conroy , seems to be hunched against blows that never come. He mechanically sips whiskey and stares at the TV, the wall, anything. It's time for his retirement. He could pass his case load on to his successor, but no: He will do his duty to the last detail. That includes handling a parole plea by Creeson, who is very smart, an emotional manipulator, whose wife, Lucetta Milla Jovovich , is such a woman that such a man might use and be used by.
Creeson senses that Mabry, the duty-bound straight arrow, might be vulnerable to temptation. Lucetta is smart enough to try, not a bold seduction, but a mental game in which Mabry essentially seduces himself. This is a process which cannot be dispatched in a neat prison caper.
It involves plotting about personalities. Lucetta has a key role in finding and exploiting an avenue through Mabry's defenses. What does Creeson think about the possibility she will have sex with Mabry? A convicted arsonist looks to manipulate a parole officer into a plan to secure his parole by placing his beautiful wife in the lawman's path.
