Wes Anderson's cinematic canon is a diverse and colourful spectrum of comedy and tragedy that frequently explores familial dysfunction, grief, solitude and otherness to YOU. To me it is a cinematic universe. Bill Murray is the same guy in all of those films.

[thenotoriousscuttlecliff]

The thing about Wes Anderson's films is that I don't always connect with the stories he is telling, but by fucking god do I appreciate the craftmanship that went into making them.
