Wes Anderson is one of the most influential voices from the past
two decades of American cinema. A true auteur, Anderson is known
for the visual artistry, inimitable tone, and idiosyncratic
characterizations that make each of his films--"Bottle Rocket,"
"Rushmore," "The Royal Tenenbaums," "The Life Aquatic with Steve
Zissou," "The Darjeeling Limited," "Fantastic Mr. Fox," and
"Moonrise Kingdom"--instantly recognizable as "Andersonian." "The
Wes Anderson Collection "is the first in-depth overview of
Anderson's filmography, guiding readers through his life and
career. Previously unpublished photos, artwork, and ephemera
complement a book-length conversation between Anderson and
award-winning critic Matt Zoller Seitz. The interview and images
are woven together in a meticulously designed book that captures
the spirit of his films: melancholy and playful, wise and
childish--and thoroughly original.
Praise for "The Wes Anderson Collection: "
"In "The Wes Anderson Collection," Seitz expands a series of video
essays on Anderson's influences, illuminating as much of Anderson's
process as possible in a massive, beautifully rendered volume.
Although it looks (and sometimes reads) like a coffee table book,
"The Wes Anderson Collection" brings together style and substance
to provide a loving homage to Anderson's films and moviemaking in
general."" --The A.V. Club "
"Your coffee table wants--no, scratch that--needs this book . . .
Packed with 400 images of everything from behind-the-scenes set
shots to makeup inspiration to hand-drawn storyboards, the massive
tome is pure eye candy. But in addition to the visuals, Seitz also
dives deep into each and every Anderson film." --"NYLON"
"A magical tour of Wes Anderson's filmography." --"C" magazine
"Each page of this book--filled with conversations, photographs
and artwork surrounding each film--showcases Anderson's pop-culture
inspirations from Hitchcock and Star Wars to Jacques Cousteau and
the French New Wave. Better than most of their kind, the talks
reveal a candidness and honesty between critic and director,
allowing Seitz to dig around Anderson's vault and share his
discoveries." --"FILTER"
""The Wes Anderson Collection" comes as close as a book can to
reading like a Wes Anderson film. The design is meticulously
crafted, with gorgeous full-page photos and touches like a still
representation of Rushmore's opening montage." --"The A.V. Club"
"Reading the book, you feel as if you're disappearing into the
miniature world of Anderson's movies, like you're playing around in
the files and fastidiously kept dossiers assembled for each
project. In this way, the book mimics the work." --Complex.com
"It's smart, informative, and looks beautiful. In other words,
it's the perfect gift." --"Complex "magazine
