What’s behind Wes Anderson’s old-school style of film making? • FRANCE 24 English

Rescue workers are laboring to recover and identify the remains of Zia Corda. It only takes a few seconds to recognize his idiosyncratic visual style. From the perfectly symmetrical shots and elaborate set designs to the whimsical characters that populate his films. Suicide panel. Where’s Anderson’s unique cinematography is unlike anything else on the silver screen. A self-taught director, the 56-year-old from Houston, Texas, has always stood by an old school style of film making. I am particularly drawn to the old techniques, and I can’t say that I’ve ever said, I wish we did this all on a green screen. Since the early days of his career in the mid 1990s, like a theatrical troop, Wes Anderson surrounded himself with a familiar cast of actors and technicians. Until the end of July, France’s prestigious cinematic Frances is paying tribute to his work. Films like The Grand Budapest Hotel, a 2014 box office hit with its colorful poetic universe, have earned him a cult following. Since his first film until his last film, you have on the one hand these clumsy burles characters, characters who struggle with their environment, the world in which they evolve and on the other hand melancholy nostalgia something very emotional satre or frana trufo just some of the artistic inspirations for Wes Anderson’s films his influences also or extend to literature with works by JD Salinger and Rald Dah leaving their mark on his vision strongly shaped by themes of childhood. [Music] It’s like everybody’s childhood. There is something naive about it but also the desire for conquest to come into contact with something typical, innocent, beautiful which is part of childhood. We see it everywhere in his cinema. This year, Wes Anderson is hoping to win the palm door with the Phoenician scheme. Three of his films have already competed for the prize at Can, but he’s yet to pick up one of the most coveted prizes in cinema.

US director Wes Anderson brought his latest A-list cast led by Benicio del Toro to the Cannes film festival on Sunday, ramping up the star power as the competition reaches the halfway mark. An occasion to look back at the extraordinary career of a self-made director.
