"An archive is always a time machine, but the archives of Wes Anderson take us on a journey not just through time, but through layers of stories and the experiences of storytelling—on paper and on film. This volume chronicles these stories with a deep dive into Anderson's personal archive, celebrating his 30-plus years in cinema. From the start of his career, he has maintained a rich library of notebooks, drawings, paintings, Polaroids, props, puppets, sets and costumes from his films. Presented here, these objects are enhanced and illuminated by Anderson's long-time collaborators, including actors Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson and Tilda Swinton; composer Alexandre Desplat; musician Seu Jorge; and music supervisor Randall Poster. The book also features an extensive interview with Anderson himself, reflecting on his films and working process.

Wes Anderson: The Archives accompanies the first retrospective exhibition of Anderson's work, curated by La Cinémathèque française in Paris and the Design Museum in London. It is the first book to be produced in such close partnership with the filmmaker himself.
