Wesley Wales Anderson (born May 1, 1969) is an American filmmaker. His films are known for their symmetry, eccentricity and distinctive visual and narrative styles, and he is cited by some critics as a modern-day example of the auteur. Three of his films, The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), Moonrise Kingdom (2012), and The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) appeared in BBC Culture's 2016 poll of the greatest films since 2000. Anderson was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), Moonrise Kingdom (2012) and The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), as well as the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for the stop-motion films Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) and Isle of Dogs (2018). With The Grand Budapest Hotel, he received his first Academy Award nominations for Best Director and Best Picture, and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and the BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay. He currently runs the production company American Empirical Pictures, which he founded in 1998. He won the Silver Bear for Best Director for Isle of Dogs in 2018.
John Madsen lives a life summed up in three simple words: "Trust no one." The dictation of those three words has led him to a rather aimless life of cynicism and anti-social behavior. This all changes as he crosses paths with Eve Abbott. Seemingly an ordinary college student, Eve holds secrets of her own: she's actually an agent working for MI6. She recruits John on her latest mission: to track down and expose the secrets of a rogue agent turned terrorist and assassin. The only problem: the assassin is a former flame of Eve. As John is whisked away into the world of international espionage, allegiances are tested and his motto is put to the ultimate test as he truly wonders who can be trusted in this game of cat-and-mouse.
