Like many key creatives he's found inspiration in a huge host of varied influences. From
Hitchcock and Spielberg to Truffaut and Varda there are countless filmic homages and
references scattered throughout Anderson's filmography while his cultural anchor points also
go deep beyond film and into the worlds of art and literature. Evocations of place and time
also underpin his work from mid-century Paris in The French Dispatch to grand pre-war Europe
in The Grand Budapest Hotel while cultural institutions - such as Jacques Cousteau and The New
Yorker magazine - are other touchstones.
