Watch Wes Anderson’s new short film, “Castello Cavalcanti”

by Vadim Rizov
Watch Wes Anderson’s new short film, “Castello Cavalcanti”

Ahead of The Grand Budapest Hotel (due March 7, 2014), Wes Anderson has followed up the Léa Seydoux-starring, France-set short made for Prada earlier this year with a longer, Italian effort. Shot at Rome’s legendary Cinecittà soundstages, “Castello Cavalcanti” stars Anderson regular Jason Schwartzman as race-car driver Jed Cavalcanti, who has a fortuitous crash in September 1955 that brings about an unexpected familial reunion. The last name’s presumably a tip of the hat to Brazilian-born director Alberto Cavalcanti, whose eclectic filmography includes the classic 1947 British noir They Made Me A Fugitive. You can watch Anderson introducing that movie in 2010 at the MoMA in New York here.

The almost eight-minute short premièred today at the Rome Film Festival, and here it is:
