{"product_id":"the-cinema-of-wes-anderson-whitney-crothers-dilley-9780231180696","title":"The Cinema of Wes Anderson: Bringing Nostalgia to Life","description":"Wes Anderson is considered one of the most important directors of the post-Baby Boom generation, making films such as \u003ci\u003eRushmore\u003c\/i\u003e (1998) and \u003ci\u003eThe Royal Tenenbaums\u003c\/i\u003e (2001) in a style so distinctive that his films are often recognizable from a single frame. Through the travelogue \u003ci\u003eThe Darjeeling Limited\u003c\/i\u003e (2007) and the stop-motion animation of \u003ci\u003eFantastic Mr. Fox\u003c\/i\u003e (2009), his films examine issues of gender, race, and class through dysfunctional family dynamics, with particular focus on masculinity and male bonding. Anderson's auteur status is enriched by his fascination with Truffaut and the French New Wave, as well as his authorship of every one of his screenplays, drawing on influences as diverse as Mark Twain, J. D. Salinger, Roald Dahl, and Stefan Zweig. Works such as \u003ci\u003eMoonrise Kingdom\u003c\/i\u003e (2012) and \u003ci\u003eThe Grand Budapest Hotel\u003c\/i\u003e (2014) continue to fascinate with their postmodern, hyper-nostalgic attention to detail. This book explores the filmic and literary influences that have helped make Anderson a major voice in 21st century \"indie\" culture, and reveals why Wes Anderson is one of the most inventive filmmakers working in cinema today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Whitney Crothers Dilley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231180691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231180696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wallflower Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2018","brand":"Whitney Crothers Dilley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988100612351,"sku":"9780231180696","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7ca907f-98b8-40d4-bd7e-ad9ebf4ad96b.jpg?v=1683292622","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cinema-of-wes-anderson-whitney-crothers-dilley-9780231180696","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
