Wes Anderson

Wes Anderson is one of my favorite directors. With the upcoming release of 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' I decided to have a marathon of all his films. First on the agenda was 'Moonrise Kingdom'.

'Moonrise Kingdom 'is an intelligent and touching comedy that explore love, youth and family set on an island just off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965. Anderson's way of creating quirky, lovable characters is epitomized in this film.

The opening sequence to 'Moonrise Kingdom' is also typical of Anderson. The use of symmetry and yellow tones reflect the melancholy atmosphere of the film.





Another Wes Anderson film I watched was 'The Darjeeling Limited'. This emotional comedy revolves around three brothers reforging family bonds. 


This film also features a soundtrack forwarded by one of my favourite bands of the 60's The Kinks.
