Criterion Weekend of Discovery at Hollywood Bowl’s Music from the Films of Wes Anderson

“The Criterion Mobile Closet is returning to Los Angeles! This July 10-12, Criterion will transform the Hollywood Bowl’s Music from the Films of Wes Anderson concert into our largest public event yet, stepping into the director’s creative universe for a weekend celebrating film, sound, and discovery.

Alongside the Mobile Closet, we’re launching a one-weekend-only Criterion Cinema, offering fans screenings curated by Anderson, special merch, and space to unwind and get inspired! This experience will be open to everyone. You do not need a concert ticket to enter the Mobile Closet lottery or the Criterion Cinema.

For the first time, we will have timed and ticketed entry to the Mobile Closet — head here (criterion.com/current/posts/9186-criterion-heads-to-los-angeles-for-a-tribute-to-wes-anderson) to learn more, sign up, and pick your preferred one-hour time slot and enter the lottery for a chance to experience the Closet. We can’t wait to meet you!”

Drop day for The Phoenician Scheme soundtrack on vinyl!

Buy it here!

From abkco:

The film’s most dominant musical force is Russian-born composer and conductor Igor Stravinsky. His dramatic ballet scores Petrouchka and L’Oiseau de Feu (The Firebird) (taken from recordings conducted by Stravinsky himself) underpin the characters’ emotional and geographic journeys. In addition to pieces from Stravinsky’s ballets, Anderson and Poster zeroed in on the soaring final movement of Stravinsky’s Apollon musagète. “Apotheosis” plays during the opening credits sequence, a way to introduce Zsa-zsa as “epic.” “Our film is about a man who is like a mountain,” says Anderson. “He is himself of epic scale, his life is on an epic scale.”
