Asteroid City switched between aspect ratios as well as switching between black&white as they swapped between the TV story and the 'real'/cinema story.

Even for fans of his films, you have to be prepared for the weirdness to be dialled up to 11 in this one. It's the cinema equivalent of "I'm so meta, even this acronym".

Any of his others would be an easier and maybe more satisfying watch. It's a nice enough story of course, with the usual silly and neurotic characters and bizarre beautiful sets - just don't be surprised when people come out of the cinema looking confused.
