The trend has thankfully died down, but for the past several months, a video meme has been going around that apes the style of Wes Anderson. These reels or TikToks or whatever the hell you call them utilize the same music—Alexandre Desplat’s chirpy “Obiturary” from the French Dispatch soundtrack—and they all have the same basic style: Hyper deadpan longshots, symmetrical images, an orderliness that borders on obsessive. Some get fancy and incorporate AI, like ones I’ve seen recently that send up Succession or Star Wars in the style of Anderson. They often make reference to Anderson’s troupe of actors: Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, and so on.
