Wes Anderson is a singular filmmaker; his precise vision, detached humour and particular style are unmistakable. One viewing arguably isn’t enough to take in everything contained across the many layers of his intricately-constructed stories, and their idiosyncratic characters.
Anderson’s 11th film, Asteroid City, which will land at GFT on 23 June, features possibly his biggest and starriest cast yet, with new additions to his ever-expanding troupe including Tom Hanks, Margot Robbie, Steve Carell, Hong Chau and Scarlett Johansson (making her onscreen debut in an Anderson film after being part of the Isle of Dogs voice cast).
As we await Asteroid City, we are taking the opportunity to revisit all 10 of Wes Anderson’s previous features through May, June and into early July at GFT. Three of the films will play from 35mm prints, and we will have several special introductions and additional talks through the season. There’s never been a better opportunity to dive into the cinema of Wes Anderson, so enjoy the summer of Wes at GFT.
