Book Review: ‘The Wes Anderson Collection’

‘Wes Anderson Collection’ by Matt Zoller Seitz

 

The Wes Anderson Collection is one hell of an impressive book. Flipping through its first few pages I thought, “this book was meant for my coffee table.” And I don’t mean that because of its hefty size, but rather the way the book is laid out and how it lends itself to multiple readings. It’s a direct reflection of Wes’ movies in the sense that because it is obsessively rich in detail and full of complexities, it’s hard to fully grasp everything your eyeballs see in one sitting.

Top Ten Movies of 2007

Here are my top ten movies from the year 2007…

Moonrise Kingdom

 

(2012 – Director: Wes Anderson   Cast: Jared Gilman, Kara Hayward)

Moonrise Kingdom is another Wes Anderson masterpiece.  I wouldn’t say it’s his finest, but then again I probably wouldn’t say any of his films are his finest.
