DIRECTORAL INSPIRATION

Wesley Wales Anderson (born May 1, 1969) is an American filmmaker. His films are known for their eccentricity and distinctive visual and narrative styles. Cited by some critics as a modern-day example of the work of an auteur, three of Anderson’s films – The Royal Tenenbaums, Moonrise Kingdom, and The Grand Budapest Hotel– appeared in BBC Culture’s 2016 poll of the greatest films since 2000.[2]

‘There’s no story if there isn’t some conflict. The memorable things are usually not how pulled together everybody is. I think everybody feels lonely and trapped sometimes. I would think it’s more or less the norm.

‘The tension between mood and image in an Anderson film is a kind of treatise on outsider-ism. His perfectly arranged rooms and accoutrements always counter some sort of internal chaos. Suicide, or at the very least a resignedness to death, emerges as a major theme in nearly all of his films, including The French Dispatch.’
