This week the triumvirate discuss the quirks and wonders of the Wes Anderson filmography.

Prompted by CineClub’s recent screening of Rushmore, the Team delve into Anderson’s back catalogue and select some ‘peak Anderson’ films. There’s much to discuss from the specific ‘Anderson dialogue delivery style’, the repeating Anderson actors, and a particular examination of ‘modern Anderson’. Billy asks us to consider if the recent increase in stylisation has gone too far – like ‘a snake eating its own tail’? And Rhys and Matthew wonder about his ‘Mainstream arthouse’ aesthetic. Is Anderson becoming a ‘parody of himself?’ Let us know what you think….

Our presenters are Billy, Rhys and Matthew. The episode was engineered and edited by Emily Main.
