Explore the films ↓About Wes Anderson
Wes Anderson is an American director whose feature filmography begins with Bottle Rocket (1996). His work includes live-action films and stop-motion animation, with stories ranging from family disagreements to invented expeditions and elaborate criminal plans.
Precise framing and carefully arranged objects are part of the appeal, but the characters rarely have lives as orderly as their surroundings. Awkward loyalties, grief and failed plans give the comedy its tension. This page collects original feature directing credits; short films and later packages of shorts are not counted as additional features.
