Can someone explain Asteroid City to me? (feddit.de)

I just came back from seeing Asteroid City and it really has me at a loss. I've only seen The Grand Budapest hotel of his other movies but know of the inherent weirdness of his movies. I usually know how to classify and discuss a movie after I've seen it but this one left me kind of speechless. Not in the sense that I thought it's the most amazing movie I've ever seen but rather that I really don't know what to make of it.

Was it weird? Yes. Was it uncanny? Yes. Was it beautiful to look at? Yes. Did I understand it? No. Was there anything to understand? I'm not sure. I felt like it tried to lead me somewhere the whole runtime, but I didn't get to any conclusion at the end.

I'm sure there's someone here with a bit more context to his filmography that could shine a little light onto the movie, or lead me in the right direction.

On another note, feel free to discuss what you thought of it here, I'd love to read your thoughts!

Haven't seen it yet so this will be less helpful than you'd hoped for, but!

His movies have a lot of imagery just to have the visuals on the screen. Like stuff he thought, "I want to see this on the silver screen" or hear so and so say "this line" even if it doesn't particularly fit the movie.

Can you give an example of what you mean?
