Wes Anderson is a unique auteur of modern American cinema, known for having created an individual world out of pastel colour palettes, meticulous collection style, nostalgic soundtracks and a troupe of familiar stars – all observed in films such as Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Isle of Dogs.

Within this pocket guide Sophie Monks Kaufman delves beneath Anderson’s pristine surfaces to examine his emotional preoccupations with family, romance, failure, adventure and death. She thoroughly unspools the ethnic threads that inform his visual to describe why this precocious arthouse film nerd from Tx has become perhaps one of the most popular directors of his era.
