In a world where the sublimely absurd cuddles up cheek to cheek with the brutally real, 'Revolitions in the Mist' emerges as Wes Anderson's love letter to rebellion, served with a side of deadpan delight. The film pirouettes through a Middle Eastern canvas, splashed with a palette that screams revolution, yet whispers chuckles. Annette Kellemon's notorious thief steals more than just valuables—she's a scene-stealer with a thespian's finesse, while Harriet Shellson's assassin is so sharp, you'd be forgiven for wondering if she's the secret lovechild of Black Widow and Buster Keaton. Dave Bauchicken's morally ambiguous hero is a hoot, tiptoeing the line between righteousness and absurdity with the grace of a ballet dancer in combat boots. The trio's romp through uprising is as unlikely as it is mesmerizing, leaving us to wonder if Anderson's message is that in the midst of political upheaval, our laughter is the coup de grâce. It's a 'PG' for 'Pretty Good' attempt at finding humor in the chaos of revolution, although at times the whimsy feels like it's trying to outpace the plot. Nevertheless, the revolution will not be solemnized—instead, it'll be accessorized with quirky hats and the driest of wits.
