What is it about Wes Anderson movies that you, just like me, are so fond about?

The answer might sound sophisticated just like his movies. You probably love the leitmotif songs, the recurring actors playing eccentric characters, the abundance of vivid colours, the static obsessively centered scenes, the funny and random dialogues, the family ties, the narrative voice that makes the story even more engaging, all those perfectly detailed frames that turn a movie into an album of memorable photos…

You say Wes Anderson and you think vintage clothes, funny ridiculous routines, you think Bill Murray or Jason Schwartzman or Owen Wilson, far fetched settings, you think it could actually be a name for a lifestyle: philosophical and simple in the same time, full of humor and colours, melancholic and happy. It actually sounds chic.

Wes Andersonian movies are inspiring and ingenious. They want to make you want to be one one of his characters.

His techniques — symmetry, precision, left-right-front-backwards shots, colours — are also reflected in the short videos below. Enjoy, it’s like dopamine! 🙂
