When I saw the movie, all I could think about (besides the utterly beautiful design and colors and EVERYTHING) was the great soundtrack. Well done.


What a wonderful movie, loved it so much - great choice of songs for the playlists. "I'm Free" by the Rolling Stones is so perfect choice, every Wes Anderson film seems to feature a great Stones song from 65-67. Randall Poster - you are a sommelier of music, always finding the perfect pairing of music, image, and theme.


You are a marketing genius, Wes Anderson! The movie will premiered here in Iceland tomorrow night. I might be going....
