Anderson‘s in gb suences, his style, and the recurring themes of alienation, reinvention, ambition, and destiny that course through his movies are analyzed and supplemented by ga srsthand interviews with Anderson‘s closest collaborators--including producer JoAnne Sellar, actor Vicky Krieps, and composer Jonny Greenwood--and illuminated by ga slm stills, archival photos, original illustrations, and an appropriately psychedelic aesthetic. Masterworks is a tribute to the dreamers, drifters, and evil dentists who populate his world. "--Provided by publisher.
