The Anderson look and sound

• Wes Anderson emerged from Houston, Texas with his modestly budgeted first feature, Bottle Rocket.
• This article is part of Quarter Life, a series about issues affecting those of us in our twenties and thirties.
• It was, however, 2001’s The Royal Tenenbaums that earned Anderson an Oscar nomination for best original screenplay.

• The work of Wes Anderson is distinct in its look, feel and sound.
