The Wes Anderson Collection. Conversations with Wes Anderson about his films. Setter M.

The world is so large, so complex, so rich in miracles and surprises that years pass before most people begin to notice that it is also hopelessly broken. We call this period of knowledge "childhood." Wes Anderson's films, with their scenery, operator work, stop frames, cards and models, are readily and even impatiently inferior to the “miniature” quality of the worlds that he creates. Nevertheless, these worlds cover the continents and decades. “Bottle rocket”, “Rashmore Academy”, “Tenenbaum family”, “Water Life”, “Train to Darjeling”, “Incomperate Mr. Fox”, “The Kingdom of the Complete Moon” - each of these films has crimes, adultery, cruelty, cruelty, cruelty, cruelty, cruelty, cruelty murders, death of parents and children, moments of sincere joy and transcendence. And it is precisely this amazing balance between the comedy and the tragedy that fans of Wes Anderson are so fond of.

This book is very personal, but still talks about the essence of Anderson's style. She can be called a long conversation of a journalist and director who know each other quite well. The conversation moves along the Wes career from the film to the film. And although he shares stories about funny cases - especially in the chapters about the “bottle rocket” and “train to Darjing” - the emphasis is always on work. Partly because Wes Anderson is a very closed person, but basically this is a consequence of how his consciousness works.

All conversations of the director with the author - about cinema, music, literature, art, connection between creativity and criticism and other topics related to work. And from time to time, the site voices one of his favorite theories regarding his work in order to hear what he thinks. And this is like nothing else to understand that every detail in Wes Anderson's films is part of a great plan. Wesus always managed to show how things describe and determine individualities. This book was conceived with the same approach. This is a journey along the artist’s consciousness with the artist himself as a guide and friendly companion.
