The ultra-stylish Wes Anderson presents his new film at Cannes.

With 1.8 million subscribers, the Instagram account @accidentallywesanderson is certainly one of the most entertaining on the social network and says a lot about the impact of the American filmmaker on the imagination of contemporary pop culture. His attention to detail, beyond obsession, his millimetre-accurate framing, his insane sets of good taste (which make us consider our own domestic interior with desolation), his ideal music, composed since his beginnings with more than just a style, but a whole world, in which one would dream of living. We must also salute the work of his costume designer, Milena Canonero, who won four Oscars. She made her debut with Kubrick (notably for Barry Lyndon), who has worked with Wes Anderson since 2004 and La Vie Aquatique. You have to have a very gloomy heart to see in his work only a vain exercise in style, hollow coquetry: under this flamboyant allure, an authentic filmmaker's approach presides over the construction of a work less effervescent than it is it seems. Like the perfect songs of the Beach Boys period Pet Sounds, where the melancholy in minor mode brings a friendly consolation .

If all of the incredible cast brought together by Wes Anderson presents itself at the foot of the steps of the Palais du Festival, the climb of the steps would need a whole hour….
