With his new film, “Asteroid City”, Wes Anderson once again succeeds in piling up the stars of Hollywood. For him, some are even ready to appear only a few minutes on the screen.

To understand the success of Wes Anderson, the France 2 teams at the Cannes Film Festival tried to film the city in their own way, with symmetrical compositions, warm colors, and characters who look straight in the eye. A universe that fascinates the stars. They are also a hundred in his latest film, Asteroid City. “It’s magic, he manages to create something unique”explains actor Adrian Brody.

“The sense of prestige”

In the small world of Wes Anderson, there are the biggest names in Hollywood, including Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, and so many others. A family of cinema that he created in 27 years of career with in particular his greatest success, The Grand Budapest Hotel. Renowned actors sometimes accept very short passages in his films. “Wes Anderson is a brand, like Yves Saint-Laurent, it is the sense of prestige and the great couture of cinema”explains Gauthier Jurgensen, film journalist.
