Invitation to Wes Anderson
With his unique visual style, recognisable by all, he creates fables that are both comical and elegiac, alternating between animation and live action with the same meticulous attention to detail. At the Lumière film festival, Wes Anderson will introduce some of his films and his new short, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.
