Wes Anderson On All His Films

For someone so calm and restrained, Wes Anderson can be very divisive. Personally, I’ve loved all of his works since BOTTLE ROCKET and am fascinated by the intricate worlds he invents and idiosyncratic stories he tells. Upon the release of his latest movie, THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME, the filmmaker sat down with Vanity Fair for an hour to discuss all of his movies (but not his Roald Dahl shorts from last year! Boo! Hiss!). Here’s the summary:

"When you're writing a story, it often feels less like you're doing architecture and more like you're doing excavation–we're just unearthing it." Wes Anderson had made 12 films over 29 years, making his name widely known for his distinctive visual style of symmetrical compositions, vivid color palettes and unique camera movements. From his very first film 'Bottle Rocket' to his great hits like 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' and 'The Royal Tenenbaums,'' Wes Anderson takes a look at all of his films and discusses in detail how they came to life.

Enjoy!
