Director Wes Anderson came out strongly against moves to alter Roald Dahl books to conform with modern woke sensibilities.
— Director Wes Anderson, who presented his take on a Roald Dahl story at the Venice Film Festival on Friday, came out strongly against moves to alter the author’s books for “sensitivity” reasons.
Anderson received a lifetime achievement award and presented his 40-minute “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar” based on a short story by Dahl. Anderson, responding to a question, said he was strongly opposed to recent revisions of Dahl’s books to remove descriptions of characters like “fat” and “crazy”.
“If you ask me if Renoir should be allowed to touch up one of his pictures, I’d say no. I don’t want even the artist to modify their work,” he told reporters. “I understand the motivation for it, but I’m in the school where, when the piece is finished… the audience participates in it, we know it, so when it’s done, it’s done,” Anderson added.Backlash Brewing Against Roald Dahl Censorship as Authors, UK PM Speak Out
