The Grand Budapest Hotel and Moonrise Kingdom have made Wes
Anderson a prestige force. Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums have
become quotable cult classics. Yet every new Anderson release
brings out droves of critics eager to charge him with stylistic
excess and self-indulgent eclecticism. Donna Kornhaber approaches
Anderson's style as the necessary product of the narrative and
thematic concerns that define his body of work. Using Anderson's
focus on collecting, Kornhaber situates the director as the curator
of his filmic worlds, a prime mover who artfully and
conscientiously arranges diverse components into cohesive
collections and taxonomies. Anderson peoples each mise-en-scene in
his ongoing ""Wesworld"" with characters orphaned, lost, and out of
place amidst a riot of handmade clutter and relics. Within, they
seek a wholeness and collective identity they manifestly lack, with
their pain expressed via an ordered emotional palette that, despite
being muted, cries out for attention. As Kornhaber shows,
Anderson's films offer nothing less than a fascinating study in the
sensation of belonging--told by characters who possess it the
least.
