Rachael Kaines chats with cinematographer Robert Yeoman about working with Wes Anderson... It's been two decades since the release of Wes Anderson's first feature film,
Bottle Rocket (1996) and a lot has changed
for the people involved.
B The Royal Tenenbaums: Criterion Edition Rated R
for some language, sexuality / nudity and drug content Available on DVD and Blu - ray In 2001, after having been blown away by his previous two films
Bottle Rocket and Rushmore, I had the joy of seeing Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums.
Wes Anderson may have been yet to fully find his feet in this early, short - form version of
Bottle Rocket, but some of his visual calling cards — that font,
for one — were there from the get - go.
However increasingly stylized his work has become over the years, that should give even old school «
Bottle Rocket» fans something to be excited
for.
One of the most influential voices from the past two decades of American cinema, it's funny to think that Anderson was endorsed by Martin Scorsese way back in the day when the «Mean Streets» director co-signed onto his then little - cared -
for debut «
Bottle Rocket» several years before Anderson would blow up into a cultural phenomenon (that wouldn't be until around «The Royal Tenenbaums» and «The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou»).
Treating quirky adolescents with affection was already central in
Bottle Rocket, Anderson and Wilson's only previous feature (in which Wilson played one of the leading parts), but
for all that movie's style and grace, it bears the same relationship to Rushmore that a watercolor bears to an oil painting.
For those not familiar with his work, Wes Anderson is the director behind
Bottle Rocket (1996), Rushmore (1999), The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), The Darjeeling Limited (2007), Fantastic Mr Fox (2009), Moonrise Kingdom (2012) and The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014).
Wilson has collaborated with director Anderson seven times, including the Academy Award nominated The Grand Budapest Hotel; The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, co-starring Bill Murray and Anjelica Huston; The Royal Tenenbaums,
for which he and Anderson were nominated
for an Academy Award
for Best Original Screenplay; Rushmore, which Wilson co-wrote and co-executive produced; and Anderson's directorial debut,
Bottle Rocket, which Wilson starred in and co-wrote.
Next two weeks: Christmas and New Years, no columns January 7:
Bottle Rocket January 14: Zero Effect January 21: Requiem
For A Dream
For all those that find his debut «
Bottle Rocket» his finest achievement, there are just as many who hold «Rushmore» or «The Royal Tenenbaums» as pinnacles of his skill.
There is a direct connection to every one of Anderson's previous credits in Darjeeling Limited, from the core of a strained family à la Royal Tenenbaums to the use of an international setting
for intrigue and adventure like The Life Aquatic of Steve Zissou, with starring roles being claimed by the matured young leads of
Bottle Rocket and Rushmore.

As intended,
Bottle Rocket appears in 1.85:1 widescreen (enhanced

Lots of frivolity abounds
for the entire running time, but
Bottle Rocket always remains very fun to watch and is surprisingly witty in a natural way that definitely doesn't feel scripted.
There are also credits
