Cinema St. Louis celebrates American film auteur Wes Anderson with a six film retrospective in advance of the release of Anderson's newest film, Asteroid City on June 16th. Before the director's 11th feature is released, Cinema St. Louis will screen Anderson's first six live action films over the first two weekends in June. The series will kick off with Anderson's 1996 debut, Bottle Rocket, and culminate with 2012's Moonrise Kingdom. The full lineup can be found on the Cinema St. Louis website.

"Wes Anderson has a unique voice and vision among American directors and it's exciting to share these six films that have truly become iconic," says Brian Spath, operations supervisor for Cinema St. Louis, "you know to expect certain hallmarks from an Anderson film, but his visual style, production design, and sly wit make each film different from the last."
