The Wes Anderson Collection
The Wes Anderson Collection | Matt Zoller Seitz
17 posts | 6 read | 13 to read
Wes Anderson is one of the most influential voices from the past two decades of American cinema. A true auteur, Anderson is known for the visual artistry, inimitable tone, and idiosyncratic characterizations that make each of his films- 'Bottle Rocket', 'Rushmore', 'The Royal Tenenbaums', 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou', 'The Darjeeling Limited', 'Fantastic Mr. Fox', and 'Moonrise Kingdom'- instantly recognizable as "Andersonian." 'The Wes Anderson Collection' is the first in-depth overview of Anderson's filmography, guiding readers through his life and career. Previously unpublished photos, artwork, and ephemera complement a book-length conversation between Anderson and award-winning critic Matt Zoller Seitz. The interview and images are woven together in a meticulously designed book that captures the spirit of his films: melancholy and playful, wise and childish - and thoroughly original.

Early birthday present from the Hubby! The photos in this book are absolutely amazing

“Anderson‘s movies are always about the loss of a world, often childhood, sometimes family, sometimes the world we‘ve created out of our own self-identity. But this is the first time he has concerned himself with the destruction of a civilization, the end of an era, and the terrible ways in which our lives - our own personal and super-absorbing dramas - are deformed by the larger histories we are embedded in.”

What a stellar introduction.

Soubhiville What a cool book! 5y
LeahBergen I just recently watched this film and looooved it! 😍 5y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk @LeahBergen It‘s so good! He‘s my favorite living director. His next movie is set in Paris and I can‘t wait. 5y

(Day 16 - #LeTempsDeLamour)

*I love Wes Anderson—the above represents a few of the techniques of his visual style—flat-space camera; symmetrical composition; snap-zoom shots; knolling; handmade art direction; and kids acting like adults & vice-versa. I couldn‘t use movie stills because of copyright issues, so these are just random exemplars of the Wes Anderson style.

RohitSawant Oh, love this post! Fantastic collage! 5y
Cinfhen Very cool collage 🙌🏻 hope you‘re feeling better 5y
gradcat @rohit-sawant @Cinfhen Thanks, you wonderful people! And yes, I‘m feeling a bit better. ♥️ 5y

My book on the making of The Grand Budapest Hotel discusses Mendl‘s Courtesan au Chocolat, a #candy that plays a key part in the plot of the film.

I saw The Last Jedi (loved it) at The Alamo today. Every trailer jumped out at me, especially Wes Anderson's newest, which I was completely unaware of. Just look at the cast!

merelybookish I love his movies!! I will follow him pretty much anywhere. 6y
vivastory @merelybookish Same! His last one, Grand Budapest, is one of my favorites. 6y

vivastory @umbrellagirl looks like it'll be released in April 6y
sprainedbrain Wow, what a cast! Also, we are going to see the Last Jedi on Christmas... glad to hear you loved it! 6y
cariashley Ahh so exciting!! 🤗🤗 6y
vivastory @sprainedbrain I hope you enjoy! 6y
saresmoore Yes! I‘m all about the Wes Anderson. Great cast! 6y
vivastory @saresmoore He's definitely one of my favorites! How are your travels? 6y
saresmoore It‘s been a bumpy ride so far, but we will soon be in our new home! 6y
vivastory @saresmoore Big sigh of relief! 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai Huge Wes Anderson fan here! 🙋‍♂️ 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai Also...glsd to hear you liked Star Wars. So many people were disappointed with it and it makes me kinda sad. I freaking loved it. 6y
vivastory @GrilledCheeseSamurai yeah, reactions are a lot more mixed than rogue one and force awakens. I thought it was a lot of fun. Not nearly as dark. 6y
batsy I enjoyed the movie, too! For the reason you mentioned. It was able to poke fun at itself and the whole mythology of Star Wars, which, I dare say, some people take far too seriously 😐 I loved the scenes with Luke Skywalker; these movies need that kind of self-satirising wit. (It's also the same reason I enjoyed Thor: Ragnarok a lot.) 6y
vivastory @batsy Yes! Well said! Yet, it's never mean spirited 6y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Wes Anderson is my favorite living director. This is easily my most anticipated film of 2018. 6y
vivastory @TobeyTheScavengerMonk He's definitely one of my favorites! It looks even better than Fantastic Mr. Fox 6y
BilboBookends You just made me so excited for this 🙌🏻 6y

Nonfiction has been a pretty recent thing for me. But I love movies and I love books about the making of movies that I love. Plus a random book about the Crusades that I bought because of its badass title. #17booklove @jess.how #nonfictionlove

josie281 I really enjoyed The Jim Henson bio. Huge Muppet and Sesame Street fan 😁 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk @josie281 Check out Of Muppets and Men on Amazon. A great book that breaks down all the insane work that went into The Muppet Show with amazing pictures of the whole process. 7y
josie281 Oh I will! Thank you!! 7y

Crystalblu The husband and I listened to the Jim Henson book on a road trip and had to pull over for the last disk. So many tears! 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Hey @Soubhiville I'm tagging you here because you should check out Of Muppets and Men which I recommended earlier in these comments. It's the best Muppets related book I've seen! 7y

The end papers for this collection are to die for.

A really sweet insight into my favourite director's first seven works, through the mode of engaging and charming interviews, learning more has only made me love them more.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk He's my favorite too. 7y
