Omschrijving

With his characteristic style often recognizable from a single frame, Wes Anderson is one of the most iconic directors in American cinema. His acclaimed and inventive films, such as Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Moonrise Kingdom, and The Grand Budapest Hotel, examine dysfunctional family dynamics, male bonding, first love, and the experience of grief and loss through a deeply personal and imaginative lens of nostalgia.

In this book, Whitney Crothers Dilley explores the filmic and literary influences that have shaped Wes Anderson's distinctive voice, revealing what makes him one of today's most significant filmmakers. This analysis considers the director's fascination with François Truffaut and the French New Wave and traces how Anderson has drawn on authors such as Mark Twain, F. Scott Fitzgerald, J. D. Salinger, Roald Dahl, Stefan Zweig, and James Baldwin. Dilley discusses how Anderson's films treat questions of gender, race, and class and analyzes his meticulously detailed yet pseudohistorical representations of the past.

This second edition of The Cinema of Wes Anderson adds discussion of the films the director has released since the book's original publication in 2017: Isle of Dogs, The French Dispatch, Asteroid City, and The Phoenician Scheme, as well as a series of short films for Netflix based on stories by Roald Dahl, including the Academy Award-winning The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. Fully updated throughout, it remains the definitive account of the life's work of a beloved and influential director.
