The director and screenwriter is known for presenting worlds as carefully composed as dollhouses or dioramas. Here’s a look at how he returns to one particular shot.

There are few filmmakers with as distinctive a style as Wes Anderson. The slow motion, the soundtracks, the symmetrical composition, the detailed art direction — the man even has a signature font. And one of his favorite tricks is to use a tracking shot to travel through a carefully constructed and choreographed scene, creating a giant diorama that audiences can peek into. It's a sensation that's led him to build sets with cutaway walls for some of his films, to better glide from room to room.
Here's a look at how that shot has popped up in most of his movies, and how it shows off the crazy spaces in which his characters live, work, and play.
