The old-timey aspects of his various narratives notwithstanding (from “Fantastic Mr. Fox” to “Life Aquatic” to “French Dispatch” and “Grand Budapest” and everything in between), I can basically boil That Wes Thing ™️ down to a few consistent visual tropes:
* Ubiquitous symmetry
* Tableau compositions
* Very deliberate/narrow color palettes
* LOOOOOOOONG takes (He loves them)
We have been known to stage quasi Wes film festivals sometimes and just binge a bunch of his films back to back.
