Quiz: Wes Anderson movie still or real place?

Quiz: Wes Anderson movie still or real place?

Some directors have such a distinctive style you only have to look at one still to know who they are – and Wes Anderson is one of those directors. His visual style is full of quirky textures and symmetrical buildings – all in a muted pastel colour palette. 

His style has become so ubiquitous, in fact, that a new subreddit has popped up to celebrate it. r/AccidentalWesAnderson highlights buildings around the world that wouldn’t look out of place in a Wes Anderson film.

But can YOU tell the difference between an accidental Wes Anderson and a real film still? Try our quiz.
