Criterion Collection Wes Anderson Blu-ray:

Wes Anderson's movies have a unique look and feel. The director often uses central frames to tell stories, giving his projects a dramatic and scaled-down feel, and each scene is filled with props and costumes with a chic, vintage handmade vibe. The soundtrack is also heavily inspired by the past, with Anderson often referencing music from the 1960s and 1970s to complement scenes. Anderson also directed two stop-motion animated films that are included in this series – which feature amplification of his eccentric directorial style.

The Wes Anderson Archives isn't the most expensive set in the Criterion Collection catalog, it's on sale at a 50% discount. This honor belongs to the great CC40: Standard Collection.
