Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was one of Albert Maysles' final documentaries; he approached Anderson after being charmed by Rushmore, making this a collision of two radically different American auteurs.

Insight

You can literally watch the moment Anderson's aesthetic calcifies—the color palettes, the Futura, the dollhouse framing—before it became parody of itself.
