Cinematic artwork
In this cult classic, Eva Green and Louis Garrel form an unforgettable pair that profoundly impact an American expat’s experience of Paris. The adventurous duo, never ceasing to incorporate art and culture into their rebellion, decide to recreate a scene from Godard’s famous Band of Outsiders. The movie thus successfully references two different art genres at once, with a nod to New Wave cinema and art history’s neo-classical masterpieces.
The most popular of these resemblances are found in Moonrise Kingdom, where Wes pays homage to Alex Colville’s 1965 painting To Prince Edward Island. Both frames are centered around a female figure holding up a pair of binoculars and peering through them directly at the audience, returning the spectator’s gaze. However, the only other similarity between the two works is the sea. Colville’s painting is draped in a pale blue hue, while Anderson’s frame is contrasted with oranges and reds. The background of a lighthouse in the latter further augments the center framing, tightening the symmetry and adding Wes Anderson’s signature touches to the reference to Colville.
Colville’s 1967 painting Pacific also served as a framework for Michael Mann’s 1995 crime film Heat. The painting and the film scene both focus on a gun lying on the table, with a single male figure facing away from the audience and looking out over the ocean. Influenced heavily by French existentialists Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, Colville composed a painting fraught with tension, trauma, and drama that is at the same time also extremely passive, considering that the man is turned away from the gun and the painting is innocuously named Pacific. Colville himself said, “I don’t think the painting is about suicide, I guess I think of the gun and the table as necessary parts of human life, upon which it is possible sometimes to turn one’s back.” (Dow, 1972)
