Voting MPC #136: Wes Anderson - concludes 4/23

[Fuzz]

Wes Anderson-style images:

• Straight-on -- he rarely shoots at an angle, almost always shooting straight-on; almost no depth.
• Symmetry with a twist -- most of his shots are quite symmetrical, but he also manages to create a bit of imbalance to break the symmetry, either with colour, pattern, numbers, size, contrast, etc.
• Attention to colour -- he pays attention to the colours present in each scene (usually minimal, often complementary or analogous) and you definitely notice the colours.

Can be portraiture, still-life, architecture, landscape, whatever. Just that style of shooting straight-on, symmetrical (with a break), and an attention to the colours.

Here's a good video of scenes from his movies that illustrate the style:



After a slow start, got some great entries. Here are my 5 picks:
