Description

This deep dive into the world of Wes Anderson mines the details of the making of every feature-length movie and short film from the beloved director.

The films of Wes Anderson are among the most iconic contemporary works of cinema. From Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums to The Grand Budapest Hotel and The French Dispatch, his movies are instantly recognizable for their highly stylized visuals, meticulous symmetry, idiosyncratic characters, and offbeat humor.

Organized chronologically and covering every short film and movie that Wes has ever directed, Wes Anderson All the Films draws upon years of research to tell the behind-the-scenes stories of how each project was conceived, cast, and produced. The book explores his unique filmmaking style, his use of regular cast members like Owen Wilson and Bill Murray, recurring themes, and the visual and narrative elements that have made him a cult favorite in the world of cinema. Featuring hundreds of vivid photographs that celebrate one of film's most iconic artists, this authoritative guide will delight all Wes Anderson devotees and movie lovers in general.
