Anderson has mostly directed fast-paced comedies marked by more serious or melancholic elements, with themes often centered on grief, loss of innocence, dysfunctional families, parental abandonment, adultery, sibling rivalry and unlikely friendships. His movies have been noted as unusually character-driven and, by turns, both derided and praised with terms like "literary geek chic". [63] [64] Their plots often feature thefts and unexpected disappearances, with a tendency to borrow liberally from the caper genre. [65] Visual style [ edit ] Other elements of his films seem to be made from scratch as well, like his costumes and production design.

Anderson had not seen the film, but he was confident enough in his artistic vision that one of the biggest movie stars in the world decided to come on as a supporting role after reading the script and having a phone conversation.

i can’t remember ever having seen a movie by the man but i headed a lot about them especially the hotel Budapest one. and after reading this i am very interested to watch some and see this unique style of film making. This book has really great visuals, of course. Also, it helps to understand Anderson's filmmaking in new ways. I liked how the author finds ways to put visuals into words: "He makes films on a molecular level. They are their own ecosystem, an ocean where dark currents flow beneath the dappled surface." I also had never known that Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of Tarzan, is Anderson's great-grandfather. All in all, this is a great gift for an Anderson fan or the aspiring filmmaker in your life.

There are influences I could spot a million miles away. But it's those others that have showed me something I missed before. Something new to explore. I learned some things, have been inspired by others...even found out one of my favorite movies was an Anderson film. (When I first watched it, I had no idea...not until I had my hands on this book all these years later...TOTAL DUH MOMENT)
