00:00Oh

00:30The whole thing.

00:54Anyway, nice to see you.

00:56See you too.

01:00So we see each one of these films as a world.

01:03It's like going into Wes Anderson's mind,

01:05and inside his mind lives these different worlds,

01:08and these different worlds tell us different stories

01:10through different films.

01:12So we create 13 different spaces.

01:15I wouldn't say rooms, because they're more open.

01:18And we try to make these spaces porous

01:20so we can look ahead to the next film,

01:22or the two films forward,

01:24and we can look behind at the films that have gone.

01:27So we're never in where the universes are leaking

01:30and overlapping from each other.

01:32Fans of Wes Anderson films will really be delighted

01:35when they can come close to many of the familiar objects for them

01:39they've seen in the films.

01:40But when you watch a film, sometimes some of these objects,

01:44they're seen on camera for a few seconds,

01:47while here you almost have the opportunity to pose the film

01:51and to come closer to some of these wonderful paintings,

01:55costume, textiles,

01:57and what it was really something new

02:00that you probably cannot see in films,

02:02and what goes on behind the scenes.

02:04But really, in the end, he's been very involved,

02:09because no one knows the films better than he does.

02:14So, you know, when we ask him a question about something,

02:18the answer raises so many other new ideas

02:21that the curators might not have thought of

02:23or that a detail that I didn't know

02:25from even working on the film.

02:27So, you know, it's been, I think, to everybody's benefit

02:31that he's been so willing and open to interact

02:35and collaborate on developing this

02:37while he's also making films still, you know.

02:40I don't know.

03:10and the start of all,

03:12I don't know yet.

03:13and to answer them in movies.

03:18A question but,

03:20let me explain why.

03:21To how
