• TRUE WES

    What do Orson Welles, François Truffaut, Mike Nichols, and Peanuts have in common? According to critic Matt Zoller Seitz, they’re just a few of the many influences on Wes Anderson’s films, and in a lovingly assembled and keenly edited five-part series of new video essays titled “The Substance of Style,” now playing and ongoing at Moving Image Source, he examines those inspirations in depth. (The site has already posted parts 1 through 3, with the remaining segments coming within the week.) One of our favorite moments so far comes at the end of the video in part 2: a split screen simultaneously following The Graduate’s Dustin Hoffman and Rushmore’s Bill Murray as they make their way into their respective backyard pools with a synchronized splash. Dive in!

    Thank you for this, and thanks for the excellent treatment you've given his films thus far -- looking forward to more Wes Anderson Blu-rays from you, and hopefully a long-desired release of The Darjeeling Limited!

    Would love a CC 'Darjeeling', but would be far more excited for a 'Rushmore' CC BD.

    Darjeeling is so underappreciated. But it's as re-watchable as Rushmore (though they all are, I find Rushmore the absolute most re-watchable) and as deep and character driven as Tennenbaums. CC DVD now!!!!!

    Is there going to be a Criteron Collection DVD of Darjeeling Limited? If anyone officially hears of this/knows of this, could you please let me know? Otherwise, will buy the standard edition now.

    Yes, there is probably a criterion version of the film comming soon. Amazon has the item in their site already as a forthcoming attraction along with Thin Red Line and few more. I just found it out yesterday at Amazon site. Check Amazon.com
