Heart of a Dog, Anderson's first feature film in 30 years, was commissioned by the European TV network Arte. The film encompasses joy and heartbreak, at the heart of which is a lament for Anderon's late beloved dog Lolabelle. You can watch the film's trailer below.

The New York Times' Manohla Dargis has made this "dreamy, drifty and altogether lovely movie" a Critics' Pick. "Heart of a Dog is about telling and remembering and forgetting, and how we put together the fragments that make up our lives," writes Dargis. "At times, it feels as if she too were haunting her movie even as, with every image and word, she fills it with life." New York called it "one of the most moving and provocative films you’ll see this year."
