Wes Anderson is an American filmmaker. His films are known for their eccentricity, unique visual and narrative styles, and frequent use of ensemble casts. They often contain themes of grief, loss of innocence, and dysfunctional families. Some critics cite Anderson as a modern-day example of an auteur.

He gained acclaim for his early films Bottle Rocket and Rushmore. He then received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for The Royal Tenenbaums in 2001. His next films included The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Darjeeling Limited, and his first stop-motion film, Fantastic Mr. Fox, for which he received an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature nomination, and then Moonrise Kingdom, earning his second Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay nomination.

For his film The Grand Budapest Hotel, he received his first Academy Award nominations for Best Director and Best Picture, and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and the BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay.
