The shots are framed to perfection and each camera movement feels measured but not forced.
His style is very distinctive and it's all over his latest work.
One of the things I love about all of Anderson's films is that you could turn on the TV at pretty much any moment during any of his films and within a few moments be sure that you are watching a Wes Anderson film. Sam's life with his Scout troupe is shown in a similar manner although it soon becomes apparent that he has already escaped in search of his love, Suzy. All of this is established in one long sequence of beautiful camera movements which last no longer than a couple of minutes. Her house is large and well furnished, indicating wealth if not happiness. She has three younger brothers who appear to get along very well. Her parents do not get on and are never even seen in the same room, let alone talking to each other. Before anything is said it is already obvious to the audience that Suzy is a loner who longs for something bigger, something more. Anderson sets up Suzy's home life in a fantastic opening sequence which features some exquisite tracking shots through the family home. My expectations were matched and even perhaps exceeded. I should say from the outset that I am a huge Wes Anderson fan and have absolutely loved all of his films with the exception of Fantastic Mr Fox so I went in expecting great things.
While the two of them head off into the wilderness of Suzy's twelve mile long home island a search party that includes Island Policeman Bruce Willis, Scout leader Edward Norton, Suzy's parents Bill Murray and Frances McDormand and Sam's fellow Scouts set about trying to hunt the eloping children down in the days preceding a huge storm. It's 1965 and pre teen pen pals, Sam (Jared Gilman) and Suzy (Kara Heywood) agree to run away from home and meet up a year after meeting for the first time.
