I've always been intrigued, but never got around to any of his films. They seem to have a very unique "flavour", like I can almost taste his style, which I find really interesting.

Should I start with Bottle Rocket and go through by release date, or is there a recommended film to start with?

I would highly recommend Rushmore. Darjeeling limited, the royal Tenenbaums and grand Budapest hotel. These films would bring a smile to your face and they have a lot warmth. Unfortunately I’ve found a lot of his recent films very self indulgent and definitely don’t watch asteroid city to start off. This may sound controversial to his fans but I strongly feel he has become a self parody now

My apologies you’re absolutely right. Lovely film but I could see slight shades of how his future films would turn. Large ensemble casts, idiosyncratic dialogue and a bit too much whimsy. The young cast were brilliant however

wow, now that you say that i absolutely agree. would have been slightly better with more focus around the younger characters... there were a few (adult-focused) superfluous tangents that could have been left on the editing room floor.

I honestly hope that we once again see the down to earth Wes Anderson. The French dispatch and asteroid city really threw me off unfortunately. I’m holding out hope for the Phoenician scheme so fingers crossed
