Intern! Get me another Campari.

A few years ago I was a teen growing up in a Spanish provincial town. People my age didn't really like me since I behaved in a different manner and liked to do weird things like reading and watching old movies. I didn't really like them in return either... But the first time I saw "The Royal Tenenbaums" I realized there was nothing really wrong with me: I had the right to be different and it was OK to not be popular. And so I loved Wes Anderson.

Now (thank God) I've left my teenage years far behind and I don't in the least care about what people think of me, but I still adore Wes Anderson! The reasons?
1. He deeply analyzes his character's intellectual and emotional troubles but is never tragic or takes himself too seriously.
2. His films feature always the same team of actors, and there are some of my favourite among them (I just love Angelica Huston and Bill Murray)
3. There is such a comic sense of weirdness.
4. His films have the best soundtracks ever.
5. He takes impeccable care of all aesthetic details, of every kind (that includes fashion: don't you just love the way Margot Tenenbaum, played by Gwyneth Paltrow, wears an amazing Fendi mink coat on top of a Lacoste tennis dress?).
6. Without Mr. Anderson, none of the young "independent film directors" would exist nowadays.

Also, "The Darjeeling Limited" features one of my dream fashion objects: that magnificent Louis Vuitton case set especially designed for the film. Don't you just think the prints, the shapes and the numbers in it are the most perfect thing ever?

"Fantastic Mr. Fox" is premiering in Paris now. Finally. I'm not a big fan of cartoons really, but if they're Wes Anderson I bet they'll be different. Can't wait to see it!
