I’ve always been intrigued, but never got around to any of his films. They seem to have a very unique “flavour”, like I can almost taste his style, which I find really interesting.
Should I start with Bottle Rocket and go through by release date, or is there a recommended film to start with?
Just know that if you don’t like one, chances are pretty good none of them are for you.
With Wes Anderson, I think that he’s found his knack and if it’s pleasing the critics, then he’ll continue. You have some directors such as Ang Lee who can produce works across many genres but I suppose Wes must be doing something right as anyone who is anyone in Hollywood is literally falling head over heels to star in his films.
Yup, he’s got a singular cinematic language that is very ‘him’, not unlike Tim Burton.
It’s just not for me personally, and that’s okay.
I love it when I see obvious artistic expression in the medium, and those filmmakers with clear styles make it super obvious and easy to appreciate. Most aren’t for me either but I love that they exist.
Yeah, that’s the impression I’ve been getting. I’m also assuming I should pace myself? Maybe only a few per week?
I strongly recommend starting with bottle rocket and most definitely Rushmore. Both are a good way of easing yourself into the Anderson universe.
Yeah I’ve decided to go in order of release. I get the impression he’s a director that’ll be really interesting to watch evolve.
That’s a solid approach.
