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?
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.
