The Grand Budapest Hotel | Wes Anderson | 2014 | Comedy | Some of Wes Anderson's richest characters to date, including his most truly psychopathic villain in Jopling, who throws a cat out a window and walks across snow in socks without showing the slightest discomfort, thus outdoing the literal Nazi death squad in terms of evilness. Though I guess you 'can't blame someone for their basic lack of moral fiber', can you? Reviewed on Wednesday, April 27th, 2022, 12:00am. |

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou | Wes Anderson | 2004 | Comedy | First Wes Anderson I saw upon its actual release, and to me it felt a lot like the crew of the Belafonte aboard the Jacqueline Deep Search submarine seeing the jaguar shark for the first time. Something beautiful and unique that I had been waiting for in a way by familiarizing myself with his earlier work (Anderson's, not the shark's), existing at that time just for me. It will always hold a special place in my heart for that, and though I recognize some of its faults, this fact will always blind me to them. In a way it helps keep the mystique alive for me, that it's typically considered second-tier Anderson, as it allows me to stay submerged, just a member of Team Zissou, watching the great beast swim past.

Bottle Rocket | Wes Anderson | 1996 | Comedy | Wes Anderson's movies unfold to reveal more about themselves with each rewatch, but I wasn't quite expecting this one to have as much depth. However, when Anthony tells his little sister, “I can't go home. I'm an adult,” a throwaway line to me when I was younger revealed itself to be an apt throughline in all of his work: the longing for the past, when we maybe didn't have to have it all figured out yet in this case, when we were child prodigy tennis stars in others. Much more fully realized than I had remembered. Reviewed on Friday, April 8th, 2022, 12:00am. |
