"Sure, it's tempting to imagine belonging to another culture but I'm comfortable with the status my ethnicity and birth provides" , confides Anderson, the briefest hint of a smile visible as he discusses his new Renoir by way of Satyajit Ray neocolonial chamber piece in the opulent surroundings of a Chennai Gentleman's Club. "There are times growing up when I'd have to pretend that kind of privileged Northern European cultural background embarassed me, when we'd have to visit these impoverished Hispanic districts or whatever. But really I didn't give a fuck. They were savages."

Just saw Rushmore again last night. Not sure how much I liked it. But I quite liked it.
Anyway what surprised me was discovering, or rediscovering, Thomson's entry on WA in the 2003 (?) biographical dictionary where he says watch this space, he may do something interesting.
What a strange misjudgement - for if you thought WA interesting enough to include at all, then you'd have to accept that the first 3 or so films were already worth discussing; and if you didn't like them, then there was little reason to think he'd improve.

rushmore by a mile for me, then bottle rocket - flush everything else down the toilet
rushmore came out when i was 13 and really confounded me for a few years, i felt overloaded with irony and i had no idea what i was supposed to think of it, and as a consequence it sorta made me mad - by the time tenenbaums came along my friend had convinced me that WA was mostly sincere and i found it easier to take him at face value by then
never understood the love for Bottle Rocket

its funny with likable characters - its also almost impossible to imagine him filming something like this again, it has such a Texas feel to it and isn't plagued by his obsession w/making color schemes the star of the movie
tenenbaums is probably the height of the kind of thing he wants to accomplish, but its almost just... too much for me. it's great when you're 17 though
i think life aquatic is his only truly loathesome, worthless movie - darjeeling was actually better than i expected, but still nothing i think back on fondly

highlights of his career: "O.R. they" and the scene from Rushmore where bill murray wanders onto a basketball court and blocks a little kid's shot
totally.
the other highlight is of course

I'm not a big Anderson fan, Life Aquatic is the only one I really like! I want to be part of Steve Zissou's crew and swim with luminous stop motion fishes.

I swore off this guy forever since seeing Darjeeling Unlimited...for some reason the idea that one character would lose a shoe and spent the rest of the movie with just one shoe on is just the ultimate Wes Anderson in-a-nutshell moment in a movie full of insufferable moments

I think a part of the aesthetic of Life Aquatic (and lots of Wes stuff) is loathsomeness - hence Bill Murray's being the bastard father. Another part of the movie is shit luck. All the sadness is half of what makes that movie really good imo. Hence the initial opera hall scene where Murray basically receives no applause and his commitment to something as personal as revenge is also met with deft ears. It's all this stuff that makes the movie great. No one cares that he is finally using his heart - he keeps on truckin' and wearing his heart in the face of shit luck, and eventually he might get a little bit of recognition for it but recognition doesn't even matter at all by the end of the movie.

I mean it's just a stupid thing to write into a movie; like I swear this is all leading up to the ultimate Wes Anderson movie where the main character wears a bear hat and carries around chopsticks and starts every conversation with a line from a chorus of a song from whichever Hollies album cover art matches the shirt of the person hes talking to, with the climatic final scene being him trying to hail a cab in slow motion while The Jam plays "English Rose"; the taxi driver is Bill Murray with a lion hat, who just looks at him and shakes his head while passing him by; then he is approached by a little Mexican kid selling Chiclets and handcrafted wooden turtles; the chopsticks fall slowly to the ground...end of movie

yeah but you need a main character to die for some climatic effect

Didn't start a separate thread for this as I'm kinda "enh" on this.
There must be some mistake. There are no Kinks or David Bowie songs in the trailer. Obviously, this is the work of an imposter.

In a statement, Cannes artistic director Thierry Fremaux announced that "Wes Anderson is one of the rising powers of American cinema, to which he brings a highly personal touch, particularly in 'Moonrise Kingdom,' which once again is a testimony to the creative freedom in which he continues to evolve. Sensitive and independent, this admirer of Fellini and Renoir is also in his own right a brilliant and inventive filmmaker."
