Sight and Sound Volume 33 Issue 6 (Summer 2023)

Sight & Sound Volume 33 Issue 6 (Summer 2023) Wes Anderson“Feeling bamboozled by a Wes Anderson film is not a new occurrence – but that sense of exhilaration is something unique in his filmography, with the giddy sense it creates of watching a universe unfold in front of you.” So writes Isabel Stevens to introduce her cover interview with Anderson, whose newest creation Asteroid City is as detail dense and painstakingly conceived as ever. Their in-depth conversation results in what Stevens calls “an Asteroid City almanac.”From Asteroid City to… Archive City. We handed Anderson the keys to the Sight and Sound vaults, allowing him to select articles from the magazine’s 91-year history.
