One Fine Show: “Wes Anderson, The Archives” at the Design Museum in London

The first major museum show devoted to Anderson's process and visual language demonstrates how relentlessly he works to transform every corner of his created worlds into art.

Alfred Hitchcock’s notion of “pure cinema” drew on his education in the era of silent films, but you can see it resonate across his filmography. He thought that a movie should be able to be enjoyed on mute, because the key images—the birds flocking on the telephone wires—tell the story as much as the dialogue. You can imagine what he would have thought of the films of Wes Anderson, in which every scene in every movie involves two people telling very clever jokes at each other while moving as little as possible.
