Examines the development of 'Black Panther' via concept art, costume sketches, and insights from the filmmakers.

Wes Anderson

Donna Kornhaber approaches Anderson's style as the necessary product of the narrative and thematic concerns that define his films. Using Anderson's focus on collecting, Kornhaber situates the director as the curator of his filmic worlds, a prime mover who artfully and conscientiously arranges diverse components into cohesive collections. Covering Anderson's entire oeuvre and including an interview with the director, this book is an entertaining look at a beloved and polarising contemporary filmmaker.
