Wes Anderson is now seen as one of America's greatest and most stylistic filmmakers. With movies likeThe Fantastic Mr. Fox,The Grand Budapest Hotel,Moonrise Kingdom, andThe Darjeeling Limited, Anderson has solidified his place among the best and brightest of contemporary filmmakers. Anderson's early films, the films that rocketed him to stardom, are often written about separately and in contrast to his later films. InFucking Innocent, John Andrew Fredrick, who has taught the early films at The University of Southern California, examines Anderson's three earliest films and discusses each individually and as the burgeoning of the art of one of the most talented of American directors. Fredrick's criticism looks atBottle Rocket,Rushmore, andThe Royal Tennenbaums in this fun and sharp critique.
