Wes Anderson & Symmetry

  • Shaquilla Alexander

A true auteur whose film catalogue has proved, time and time again, his ability to make films that have his own personal stamp.

This is very different to the conventional filming style that follows photography’s rule of thirds. This is a very striking choice and helps set him aside from other modern directors.
