This is the first ever fully authorised book to cover Wes Anderson’s 30-year career in film, richly illustrated with photographs of never-before seen notebooks, polaroids and objects from Anderson’s archive, including props from Rushmore, costumes from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, and signage from The Darjeeling Limited. The book features extensive interviews with some of Anderson’s long-term collaborators, such as actors Owen Wilson, Scarlett Johansson, Jason Schwartzman and Tilda Swinton; composer Alexandre Desplat, musician Seu Jorge and music supervisor Randall Poster; as well as an extensive interview with Wes Anderson himself, reflecting on his films and working process. The book also includes essays by leading film writers including Isabel Stevens (Sight & Sound), Matthieu Orléan (Cinématheque française) and Vincent Maluasa (Cahiers de Cinéma) looking at key themes of Anderson’s cinematic work; the design and style of Anderson’s films are explored in essays by design curators like Glenn Adamson, Johanna Agerman Ross and Lucia Savi. The book accompanies the first ever retrospective of Wes Andersons work, an exhibition produced and curated jointly by Cinématheque française in Paris and the Design Museum in London.
