A richly illustrated retrospective of indie director Wes Anderson - with signature hidden Easter eggs.

Wes Anderson is a true icon of contemporary cinema. His films are consistent cult favourites, starring a cast of top actors and have made indie films popular again.

With his inimitable and idiosyncratic style, Anderson’s cinematic universe includes The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Darjeeling Limited, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom and Isle of Dogs.

Delivered in a quirky design which mirrors the aesthetic of an Anderson film, Wes Anderson: A Retrospective considers his entire oeuvre and reveals behind-the-scenes anecdotes, colour codes and where the visual Easter eggs are hidden.
