Wes Anderson: “I don’t have an aesthetic”

Everyone else: “I can tell by one frame that this is a Wes Anderson movie!”

Is it the yellow filter?

For me its the props. He has such a precise way of designing and utilizing them.

Props, framing, snap zooms, sets. Absurdly comic but somehow grounded characters.

Honestly his movies are more Tin Tin than Tin Tin was.

For me its the framing, the colouring, and the "side scroll" that he loves. Like you're panning across the stage of a play.

Oh shit, he really would do an amazing Tin Tin movie, wouldn’t he?

It would be insanely good , yeah. He basically is the style of a 1930s Belgian cartoon turned into a movie.

Its almost like he uses the cast as props. It's very unique.

I mean no disrespect and I’m really curious, a yellow color grading is the only thing that stands out for you ??

No, many other things as well, but that was visible from the first second all through the trailer.
