Let's enjoy watching Wes Anderson's movies in June and July!
Wes Anderson is known for his visually stunning films that are filled with quirky characters, intricate set designs, and meticulously composed shots. His movies often have a distinctive blend of humor, heartfelt moments, and a touch of whimsy that make them truly special.
We will watch:
- "The Darjeeling Limited" (2007) follows three estranged brothers as they embark on a train journey across India to reconnect with each other, exploring themes of family, personal growth, and reconciliation within Wes Anderson's visually stunning and introspective style.
- "Fantastic Mr. Fox" (2009) is an animated film based on Roald Dahl's book, featuring the voice talents of George Clooney and Meryl Streep. It tells the story of a wily fox's struggles against three mean-spirited farmers.
- "Moonrise Kingdom" (2012) – a coming-of-age story about two young misfits who fall in love and decide to run away together, causing a search party to form.
- "Isle of Dogs" (2018) is a stop-motion animated film that tells the story of a young boy's quest to find his lost dog in a dystopian future Japan, showcasing Wes Anderson's unique visual style and heartfelt storytelling, while exploring themes of loyalty, friendship, and the bond between humans and animals.
