Most of Anderson’s work deals with ideas of family and what makes them tick, and The Royal Tenenbaums is one of the greatest examples of that thesis. Like many of Anderson’s movies, The Royal Tenenbaums has so many eccentric and memorable characters that it’s hard to choose a handful that stand above the rest.
Rushmore, which came out in 1998, is one of Anderson’s first works, but it’s also one of his best - no doubt thanks in large part to Blume and Fischer. Murray’s performance accentuates the comedy in the tragic character, and his interactions with Jason Schwartzman’s Max Fischer never fail to steal the screen. The highly successful businessman is in an unhappy marriage, causing him to dive headfirst into a dramatic midlife crisis. Blume is a disillusioned, sad sack of a man looking to find love. Herman Blume (Rushmore)īill Murray is a Wes Anderson staple, and his performance in Rushmore is one of his funniest works. Nescaffier is as philosophical as he is brave - even if he says otherwise. An incredible and charming character played beautifully by Park, Lt. Nescaffier, a legendary police officer and chef, is a hilarious and curious character worthy of his legend status. It’s nearly impossible to single out one great character and performance from the movie, but Stephen Park’s Lt. The charismatic and charming film, which imitates the style and organization of a classic New Yorker magazine issue, follows three large mini-narratives that fit within a larger story of a magazine trying to publish its last issue.
It didn’t feel right constructing this list without a shoutout to the underrated The French Dispatch, a film packed with characters galore. And while all of Anderson’s films are filled to the brim with whimsical and memorable characters, a certain few stand above the rest. The film stars Anderson staples and newcomers alike, from Jason Schwartzman and Adrien Brody to Scarlett Johansson and Tom Hanks. The new film Asteroid City will mark Anderson’s latest foray into the absurd with a sci-fi story that is sure to be unlike no other.
