10 Current Directors Who Just Can't Seem To Miss
10. Wes Anderson
Filmography: Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Isle of Dogs
The intricately composed constructions of Wes Anderson's productions aren't going to be for everyone, given their exquisitely fussy nature - but from a critical standpoint, the Texan-born writer-director just keeps on churning out slam dunk after slam dunk.
There's a strong case to be made that the two greatest films in his arsenal were his first pair of entries in the last decade - the wonderfully whimsical coming-of-age film Moonrise Kingdom and the gloriously dapper caper The Grand Budapest Hotel - while he doubled down on his droll dramedy sensibilities with his second animated feature Isle of Dogs to further acclaim.
Anderson will be back in action later this year with his next effort The French Dispatch, which sees several of his regular ensemble members reunited for a film that charts various stories covered by the European-based bureau of a regional Kansas newspaper. With a July arrival scraped, it's still on track to arrive in 2020, and is currently dated for October.
