Wes Anderson is a distinctive auteur of modern American cinema, known for having created a personal universe out of pastel colour palettes, meticulous set design, nostalgic soundtracks and a troupe of familiar actors – all seen in films such as Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Isle of Dogs. 
In 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 carefully unspools the cultural threads that inform his aesthetic to explain why this precocious arthouse film nerd from Texas has become one of the most popular directors of his generation. 
This book offers a comprehensive guide to Wes Anderson's unique style of direction, providing insightful reviews and a detailed biography. It's a top reference for anyone interested in the performing arts, offering a unique look into his individual approach to production. 
For fans of Wally Koval (Accidentally Wes Anderson), Matt Zoller Seitz (The Wes Anderson Collection), Annie Atkins (Fake Love Letters, Forged Telegrams, and Prison Escape Maps), and Wes Anderson (The French Dispatch).
