Wes Anderson: The Iconic Filmmaker and his Work (Iconic Filmmakers Series) Hardcover – November 3, 2020

Granddaughter enjoyed her gift

Mom loved it. Brother was jealous

I am getting obsessed with directors and how their mind works with their project. Wes Anderson is one so when I saw this book I knew I had to get this book

I ordered this book because I needed a special gift for a future filmmaker. This was a real hit! The quality is amazing, the photographs are just wonderful! I highly recommend this!

Perfect coffee table book. I got this as a gift for my bf and it was so nice to look through the book. Its a perfect gift for fans!

This is a really nice addition to my Wes Anderson collection of DVD's and books. This one is unauthorized but was written by a film journalist that has done extensive research and is clearly a fellow fan. The book is set up through the space of time. He begins with Wes Anderson's first full length film, Bottle Rocket and end with the (still unreleased) film, The French Dispatch.The book gives a lot of focus to how may of the films came about, their early drawing board incarnations and where they ended up. I enjoy the many behind the scenes photos of both the celebrity friend cast and pictures of Wes Anderson himself on set in outtakes.A fun detail is the center of the book has a fold out timeline that showcases the journey through the years with the illustration of train tracks leading from one film to another.The book has an exterior hard slip box cover that has a Wes Anderson style design element, though the book has to slide into it backwards to fit properly. Is this a design decision or a flaw, it's unclear. Another issue I have is that my copy came with a dented page.The book seems like a coffee table book by the highly designed cover, but I'm not certain how this would be displayed for a casual reader on a coffee table. It's going to take more time to sit and ready through all the wonderful details and this book might work better displayed on my book shelf when I'm not diving in for a read.

This book has shown be so much into the world of Wes Anderson that I did not know! Highly recommend for any wes Anderson fan!

Very pretty coffee table book
