This is part of a photo series shot by Robert B. Goodman for National Geographic documenting Conshelf Two (Continental Shelf Station Two), one stage in Cousteau's project to make an environment where people could live and work on the ocean floor. The photo was shot in their two-story habitat on the floor of the Red Sea near Sudan. https://www.cousteau.org/know/inventions/conshelf/
My point was that it was the other way around for once and not something that was inspired by Wes Anderson by accident but something that inspired WA. So yes.
Well it is in the sense that this was taken before WA was born and way before his films or his style were a thing. However it is not accidental in the sense that WA probably saw these pictures while working on Life Aquatic which is inspired by the life of Cousteau and his crew.
I bet the air in there is 90% cigarettes and French stereotypes
Ricard and red wine; I can confirm they're French.
Some Gauloises and Gitanes on the table, as well. Need those to stay trim.
Why wouldn't you smoke in a submersible habitat? 🤣
Peak French
Ahh...Gauloises. That thick, bluish tasty smoke.
You delicious BASTARDS!
2 albino scouts swim with the ship. They’re supposedly very intelligent, although I’ve never seen any evidence of it…

There are more photos on TIME's website. https://time.com/2954706/jacques-cousteau-conshelf-ii/
There are more photos here of all three habitats, including what the remains look like now:

Isn't this the documentary that inspired life aquatic?
The movie is more intentional Cousteau
'it was taken before he was born'
what?
Before Wes Anderson was born, I think is what OP means
Are there a lot of "accidentallyWesAnderson" posts that aren't actually accidental?
AI?
This is the version they filmed with Ben Stiller, apparently
No topless women?
Is this accidental? Or was The Life Aquatic literally loosely based on Jacque Cousteau with many nods to his real life?

Apres le banggang?
Less accidental, more intentional reference material
I don’t see any Glocks
Imagine being in a submersible vessel for a long period of time and people chain smoking. That sounds awful.
I'm not gonna fail you for this post, OP. You're getting an incomplete.
pictured here are cousteau and his cronies inventing the idea of putting walkie-talkies into the helmet
Living underwater they could say no, but they won’t.
My father worked with this crew
You just know it stunk in there
It kind of looks like they are playing strip poker.
This isn’t in any way accidental…

Doesn’t really look very Wes Anderson 🤷
