Wes Anderson

10 titles · american independent

Symmetry as a defence against grief. Anderson's dollhouse frames, flat compositions and deadpan delivery are the surface; underneath, the recurring subject is a broken family and a child left to organise the adults.

Signature

  • Centred, flat, symmetrical compositions; whip pans and planimetric staging.
  • Chapter headings, miniatures and handmade artifice.
  • Deadpan delivery masking real loss.
  • Absent or inadequate fathers, competent children.
