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?
I don’t remember liking Grand Budapest Hotel at all, but it was a while ago, maybe my taste changed. Same goes for the Tenenbaums, I found it boring.
On the other hand I loved Moonrise Kingdom. It’s a film that just exudes freedom and possibility, and has a terribly strong melancholic feel to it, even though it’s a lot of action. It’s the story of two kids who decide to just fuck off one day.
And there’s Fantastic Mister Fox : super super fun. It also reads differently than his other films (the ones I’ve seen), being animated I suppose. Definitely less static than most, which I think can be a problem sometimes with his work.
