Director's bio
Wes Anderson is acclaimed for his unique style characterized by eccentricity and ensemble casts. As a modern-day auteur, he delves into themes of grief, loss, and dysfunctional families in his films, with three works listed among the greatest since 2000 by BBC Culture. Anderson's early successes with 'Bottle Rocket' (1996) and 'Rushmore' (1998) laid the foundation for his career. Co-founding American Empirical Pictures with the Wilson brothers, he earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay for 'The Royal Tenenbaums' (2001). Expanding his repertoire, Anderson explored 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou' (2004), 'The Darjeeling Limited' (2007), and the animated feature 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' (2009), receiving an Academy Award nomination. 'Moonrise Kingdom' (2012) secured a second nomination for Best Original Screenplay. A pivotal moment came with 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' (2014), earning Anderson nominations for Best Director and Best Picture, along with a Golden Globe and BAFTA Award. His innovative streak continued with the stop-motion film 'Isle of Dogs' (2018), winning the Silver Bear for Best Director. Recent works include 'The French Dispatch' (2021), and 'Asteroid City' (2023).
