The Substance Of Style: Wes Anderson
“With just five features in 13 years, Wes Anderson has established himself as the most influential American filmmaker of the post-Baby Boom generation. Supremely confident in his knowledge of film history and technique, he’s a classic example of the sort of filmmaker that the Cahiers du cinéma critics labeled an auteur—an artist who imprints his personality and preoccupations on each work so strongly that, whatever the contributions of his collaborators, he deserves to be considered the primary author of the film. This series examines some of Anderson’s many cinematic influences and his attempt to meld them into a striking, uniquely personal sensibility.”
Go watch the video — “This is the first in a five-part series of video essays on Wes Anderson. Part 2 will be posted Friday April 3, and Parts 3, 4, and 5 will be posted next week.”
And wait til you see the Rushmore/Peanuts comparison.
