Mountain Goat

A visionary eccentric who thrives on his own impossible terrain.

Wes Anderson has built an entirely self-invented cinematic universe — symmetrical compositions, pastel palettes, deadpan whimsy — that follows no one else's rules and could only have come from him. He is stubbornly, almost defiantly unconventional, forging a path so idiosyncratic that it spawned its own cultural vocabulary. Like the mountain-goat, he operates in rarified territory where others simply cannot follow, finding sure footing in the most eccentric creative spaces imaginable.
