The first in a series of video essays written and edited by Matt Zoller Seitz at Moving Image Source delving into the films of Wes Anderson. In this entry, Seitz outlines a few of Anderson’s most prominent influences, from the French New Wave to Peanuts. The text on the page is a transcription of Seitz’s narration on the video, which you play by clicking the video on the right. So I suggest you click the video and watch/listen rather than read the text first like I did. Looking forward to the others in the series!
