Not So Irrelevant Bio #1 - Wes Anderson


After watching a re run episode of CBC's The Hour with George Stromp... I thought I should inform everyone of a great film maker who was interviewed on the show. Wes Anderson.
His newest film is The Dajeerling Limited and if India has ever caught your eye I suggest you run to Blockbuster and rent this beautiful movie. The story is very random but I don't think that is the point of the film. What is the point is its portrayal of India.
The Dajeerling Limited --->
Be sure to check out the soundtrack as well which features The Kinks-Shangri La and one of my favorite songs of all time Peter Sarstedt-Where Do You Go To My Lovely.

Now back to Wes Anderson who has done other films including Rushmore (still gotta see it), The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, and The Royal Tenenbaums. He has directed a total of nine films, this is including The Fantastic Mr. Fox which is still in the making (expect to see it in 2009). After watching only one of Andersons films you will become familiar with his style and of course his choice of actors ( there is a group that appear in almost all his films including Owen Wilson and Bill Murray.)

Check out a little montage of his films -->
