As we are going to be looking at the concepts of 'quirky sensibility' and 'new sincerity' through the work of Wes Anderson, this video (once again shared via 'FilmSchoolRejects') was very timely:
You can see more videos about Wes Anderson's films here, here and here.

Here is a side by side comparison of shots from 'Moonlight' and various Wong Kar-Wai films.

Both videos were found via: FilmSchoolRejects, which is a fantastic site that regularly shares interesting articles and videos about film. Consider following them on Twitter or Facebook.
