For fans of Wes Anderson: what to watch, read & play next

Cross-media picks for Wes Anderson fans — films, series, games and books in the same vein.

There's a recurring sensibility across these picks: the bittersweet, the carefully composed, the world just slightly sideways from our own. Whether it's a retro-futurist vessel in Close to the Sun, a solitary man rebuilding civilisation in The World, the Flesh and the Devil, or a young woman quietly trading city life for a small-town mail route in Lake, the tone is precise, melancholic, and oddly tender. These are stories that treat their peculiar little worlds with deadpan affection and genuine feeling.
