Wes Anderson

'Sometimes the movie knows you better than you know yourself, and you reveal your point of view about the world without ever even intending to.’ – Wes Anderson An archive is always a time-machine, but the archives of Wes Anderson take us on a journey not just through time, but through layers of stories and the experiences of storytelling – on paper and on film. This book is dedicated to these stories and celebrates Anderson’s over 30 years in cinema. From the start of his career, Anderson has maintained a rich library of notebooks, drawings, paintings, polaroids, props, puppets, sets, and costumes from his films. The objects shown here are enhanced and illuminated by Anderson’s long-time collaborators: Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tilda Swinton; composer Alexandre Desplat; musician Seu Jorge; and music supervisor Randall Poster. Also included: an extensive interview with Anderson himself, reflecting on his films and working process. Wes Anderson: The Archives
