A great behind the scenes look for fans. I loved all the full color shots and the size of the book. My one annoyance about it was the amount of fangirling Seitz did during his interviews and the frequency of his interjections about what Seitz personally thought Anderson was trying to do instead of sticking to the facts. Eg.
Like, ugh, Seitz. Keep it together, man. He's so busy showboating the movies he's seen that could be compared to Anderson's that I think he missed the fan questions like "How close are you with all the Wilsons?" and "do you always have people in mind for parts or do you sometimes hold open auditions?" and "tell me about your personal fasion style". I should probably write the next one for these burning questions.
Seitz: How did Danny Glover come to be cast in The Royal Tenenbaums?
Anderson:He's...great in Witness. Do you remember him in that?
Seitz: I remember him vividly

Wes Anderson, I cannot even begin to describe this film making genius. What I can tell you is that there is no secret to his success, Anderson is nothing more than an avid cinema fan. He loves the movies and he has watched a lot of them and has read countless books about them and now he's making his own way mixing and matching all these influences from Truffaut to Spielberg to Satjayit Ray.
