F*** the itinerary

My personal favorite colored movie cannot be boiled down to one, but rather multiple movies all directed by Wes Anderson. His signature style can be compared to one of my hometown pizza (square & thin crusted) restaurants, people either love it or hate it. With the implication that color effects emotions such as, increased blood pressure, Anderson executes that very well. For each of his films, they almost entrance you with the desire to be a part of that time and setting, just with the one of his many contributing factors like his color palette. Here are some examples of writers who elaborated on his unique style:

Emily Temple from flovorwire,

“The colors Anderson picks are remarkably true to brand across his catalog — boy, does he love those warm, saturated yellows  — but we think it’s even more impressive that we can easily recall the feeling of all of these films just by looking at five of their principal colors.”

Lauren Duca from Huffington Post,

“Wes Anderson has always had a very particular way of creating these magical, specific worlds where emotional events of colossal importance occur.”

Caitlin Dewey from Washington Post,

“Saturated, ’70s color palette? Yep. Of all the mainstream directors working today, few have such defined and recognizable aesthetics as Anderson.”

Laura Havlin from anothermag,

“The fictional worlds evoked in film by director Wes Anderson have such a precise colouration – the very particular pastel-hues that paint the skies, drench the buildings and dress the characters, render Anderson’s microcosms almost dream-like. The hazy-hued lens through which we peer into the director’s unique world has a retro quality that casts his films in a nostalgia for a time that could have been.”
