The Untold Truth Of Wes Anderson

The wonderful worlds of Wes Anderson are some of the most imaginative in modern American cinema.
As a stylist, Anderson is unmatched. His best movies, including “Rushmore” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” are known for their witty characters, audacious colors, and attention to detail in every frame. His lens captures a child-like wonder, juxtaposed with dark topics, perhaps best illustrated in “The Royal Tenenbaums.” Through the creation of a distinct visual identity and a steady stable of actors including Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, and Anjelica Huston, the filmmaker’s trademarks have made him a rarity in today’s cinema: an artist whose every shot is immediately recognizable for the person behind the camera.
