The Wes Anderson style is hard to miss. From his cinematography, production design, color, and music, there’s just no mistaking Wes Anderson movies. His creative and stylistic fingerprints can be found in his work from top to bottom — and this is what makes him a true auteur. In this Wes Anderson video essay, we’re going to break down the entirety of the Wes Anderson Style.

Whether he’s adapting an author like Roald Dahl or co-writing an original script, the stories Anderson chooses to tell have common themes. He delights in showing precocious young people acting like adults just as much as he does having full-grown adults act like children. Often, in films like The Royal Tenenbaums, Moonrise Kingdom, and The Darjeeling Limited, these characters are in search of family or attempting to repair familial relationships, with varying degrees of success.

If you know anything about Wes Anderson cinematography, it’s his devotion to precise compositions, especially his beloved symmetrical and centered framing. Anderson loves a good whip pan and lateral tracking shots have been part of his repertoire since day one. If we look at Anderson’s production design, you’d be hard-pressed to find another filmmaker so dedicated to the details. Props, costumes, sets, hair/makeup — all of these elements combine to define the Wes Anderson style.

And we can’t ignore Anderson’s impeccable music selections that help define his aesthetic. There are countless examples of source music bringing life and energy to the table. Tracks from The Kinks, The Ramones, Elliot Smith, or Seu Jorge’s glorious David Bowie covers in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

When you look to artists that are in control of their medium, Wes Anderson must certainly be on that list. The Wes Anderson style is unique, explicit, quirky, and aesthetically pleasing. You know you’ve found a filmmaker with a style all their own when you wouldn’t be able to copy it without instant claims of plagiarism.
