Asteroid City (2023)

Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City taps into mid-century Americana, Cold War anxiety, and postwar optimism, filtering them through his trademark deadpan melancholy. Set against the mythology of roadside America and atomic age wonder, the film reflects on grief, performance, and the human urge to impose order on chaos, themes that feel quietly contemporary despite the retro setting.

The poster leans hard into that nostalgia, presenting a meticulously composed desert landscape that feels halfway between a souvenir postcard and a theatrical backdrop. The oversized roadside billboard, flattened perspective, and pastel sky echo vintage travel ads and 1950s exhibition design, while the rigid symmetry and restrained color palette signal Anderson’s controlled, storybook world. It looks calm, precise, and slightly artificial, which is exactly the point.
