Jarvis Cocker covers the classic French song “Aline.”

Wes Anderson’s new film The French Dispatch is out in theatres now — a movie so nice we reviewed it twice (here and here). The soundtrack features a cover of the classic French song “Aline” by Jarvis Cocker, who voices the fictional French singer Tip-Top in the film. Wes Anderson directed an animated music video for the song, depicting Jarvis Cocker interacting with various characters from The French Dispatch. Check it out below.
