Studio 180 : Asteroid City Exhibition, London, July 2023

[Edward]

At time of writing, Wes Anderson's Asteroid City is playing in UK cinemas. I adored it myself - though I'd happily have watched it for the wardrobe alone. Studio 180 has an exhibition of costumes and props from the film currently running in London https://www.180studios.com/asteroid-city . The exhibition closes on July 30th, 2023 -go, go, go if you can. Even if you hated the film, it's worth it for the clothes alone. I went with a friend last week (before I saw the film, so be warned there is a "sort of" spoiler for the plot, but probably not much if you've already seen the trailer...). I took a lot of photos, thought some of them might be welcome here.

Edward Norton's costume is a thing of true beauty, and I wish I could buy all of it to fit me..

My favourite bit, a detail totally missed on screen, is the slippers: leather house slippers, designed to ape cowboy boots. PLEASE if anyone knows where these can be found...

The milkshakes and pecan pie are real - and they were lovely.

Very fun looking exhibit, though the photos make it seem totally devoid of visitors. Where you the only one there?

It was a great film. I will certainly watch it again and yes, the costumes where superb. My favorites where Adrian Brody’s, if I remember right.

We weren't alone, but it was quiet. Mid-afternoon on a Thursday. Judging from the ticket sales page when I booked in, evenings and weekends were inevitably much busier. I tend to try to get to things when they're quieter, especially if I know I'm going to want to do some photos. The English schools also weren't on holiday until a week or so later; not sure if that impacted on the daytime slot (I don't think it's exactly a film that would have been big with the schoolage kids, but it doubtless would affect their adults.)
