Except for the underwhelming cover, the book is actually pretty awesome considering the pictures, the information and the facts provided in this book.

The guy is already a legend and this book is defining the making of the legend all over again!

A fun informative and entertaining read!

Thank you, Frances Lincoln, for the advance reading copy.

This is a book that delves into the right amount of detail about Wes Anderson’s filmmaking, Everything is presented in an engaging and lovely manner.

I will make sure to order this to our library and purchase one for myself, and as gifts to my Anderson fan friends.

Wes Anderson is an incredibly unique filmmaker, each of his movies a jewel box of delights for the eyes and the mind. His style has evolved over the years and become so influential that his work will be revered for many generations to come.

The author of this impressive book has done incredible research into the varied and rich influences of the beloved auteur. From the stylistic impact of Anderson's cherished French films, to the color theory and shot design of each of his movies, this book takes a deep dive into all things Wes.

Fans of his movies will adore the full-color spreads, comparing scene grabs of Anderson's movies to the films that influenced his work. The attention to detail is beautiful. I personally can't wait to buy a copy of this book, and will happily buy more as gifts for friends and family!
