10. SOUNDBITE (English) Johanna Agerman Ross, co-Curator of the Wes Anderson exhibit/Chief Curator at the London Design Museum:
“The very special aspect of this exhibition and of Wes Anderson’s work is that he has meticulously kept many of the props and objects that you see in this exhibition throughout his over 30 year long career. So starting with “Rushmore,’ which is one of the first films that we’re looking at in this exhibition, he started to store and retain the props that he had created for the films.”

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Matthieu Orlean, co-Curator of the Wes Anderson exhibit, Chief Curator at la Cinemateque Francaise:
“What has never been shown, I think, is a little bit about the method of working. And so which means, like, storyboarding he’s designing. Also notebooks he’s keeping, Polaroids, things that are part of his process. And people know that he’s not the kind of film director who will make improvisation when he’s on the set. Everything has been thought as being anticipated. It doesn’t mean that there’s no variation on the set, but he’s a film director that knows a lot about what he wants to have in the frame before even the shooting begins. So all of these, like storyboarding, show how much he has the movie in his mind before being with a camera even.”

16. SOUNDBITE (English) Matthieu Orlean, co-Curator of the Wes Anderson exhibit, Chief Curator at la Cinemateque Francaise:
“The hotel doesn’t exist in real [life], they went to a mall (former department store Görlitzer Warenhau), as I said, but the outside it was not possible because the mall didn’t have any facade that could be used like that. So they needed to recreate [it]. And he’s working with a lot of props people and miniature and maquette people. They did it and now it’s there. It’s huge, it’s beautiful. And you really feel the movie comes to your mind immediately because it’s so strong and people know it. And we are very happy to have it coming from California.”
