In the run-up to the much-anticipated release of famed movie-maker Wes Anderson's new film, The Phoenician Scheme, we're hosting a very special Wes Anderthon on Sat 17 May 2025.

The day features three Anderson classics: Rushmore, The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Royal Tenenbaums – the latter is kicked off by a suitably whimsical movie quiz, where Anderson buffs can test their ultimate knowledge of the auteur’s output.

With each event ticketed at £5 you can enjoy the entire triple-header and quiz for just £15. 

  • 2pm - 1998's Rushmore (15) was Anderson's second feature. It marks the screen debut of actor Jason Schwartzman as Max, a troubled Rushmore Academy student who’s put on “sudden death academic probation” by the school’s head (Brian Cox). 
  • 4.15pm - The Grand Budapest Hotel (15), follows the exploits of hotel concierge Gustave (Ralph Fiennes) and a humble lobby boy (Tony Revolori) at a between-the-wars European hotel. The 2014 film earned four Academy Award wins (from nine nominations), five BAFTAs (including Best Original Screenplay), and a Golden Globe (for Best Film: Comedy or Musical). 
  • 7pm – after an exclusive quiz we have The Royal Tenenbaums (15). From 2001, this is Anderson's third feature, and the one that arguably established his reputation as a true original. Combining beautifully observed and witty storytelling with a strong visual flair, it stars the late great Gene Hackman in the career stand-out (and multi-award-winning) role of patriarch Royal Tenenbaum.

 

Hailing from Texas, Wes Anderson is one of America’s most idiosyncratic filmmakers. His films typically boast strong ensemble casts, including many repeat collaborators - Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Willem Dafoe, Tilda Swinton, Owen Wilson and Jeffrey Wright are just some of the actors who’ve made multiple Anderson appearances. Across a dozen movies, he’s also developed a strong and distinctive visual style, which has been much mimicked – but never bettered! - online.
