Watched The Rat Catcher tonight on your recommendation. Quite delightful and a good length at 17 minutes (don’t think this style of storytelling with one actor doing the he-said-she-said parts of a story’s narration would work in a longer form).
Couldn’t find the other 3 and didn’t have their titles handy. Netflix’s discoverability is terrible.
Could have sworn I was a fan of Anderson’s first feature film, Bottle Rocket, with the fresh young Wilson brothers, but looking at the trailer today I’m no longer sure. Now looks like the work of a completely different director.
I really appreciate that Anderson took on Dahl and hope he continues to produce shorts (Dahl or otherwise). Lots of potential.

Not a fan (generally) of WA’s work but your analysis tempts me to see for myself:) As ever, your analysis is a pleasure to read and think about.
i want to watch this now 😍
It proves that we can't ever really know what's going on
