Wes Anderson Style

Wes Anderson films are predominantly made from scratch. He can draw inspiration from books or other films, but he writes his own stories. His films hold a lot of information, feeling, and observation within a relatively simple narrative that is built by the artist that will eventually direct the picture.

Other elements of his films seem to be made from scratch as well, like his costumes and production design. While other filmmakers use real-life locations or designs to create a cohesive world, Anderson seems to build his outright. Even if he is using an established location, you get the feeling that the whole place was built for the film, and that is not done by accident.

Wes Anderson News-Cannes 2020

Pixar’s “Soul,” Wes Anderson’s star-packed “The French Dispatch” and Steve McQueen’s “Mangrove” and Lover’s Rock” are among the 56 movies which will receive a Cannes 2020 label as part of the festival’s eclectic Official Selection.

Also included in this year’s lineup, are Cannes regulars such as Francois Ozon’s anticipated “Summer 85,” Naomi Kawase’s “True Mothers” and Maiwenn’s “DNA.”

The other celebrated filmmakers who will receive the Cannes 2020 label are Jonathan Nossiter with “Last Words,” I’m Sang-soo with “Event” and Thomas Vinterberg with “Another Round.” Like many other titles on this year’s lineup, these films were initially tipped for the festival before it canceled its physical edition in April and stuck with the French Riviera-set fest for various reasons, ranging from loyalty to distribution/marketing strategy. For instance, “Summer 85,” which marks Ozon’s follow up to his Berlin Golden Bear winning “By The Grace of God,” will be released in French theaters on July 15.
