Moonrise Kingdom Discussion
Details
"Anderson always fills his films with colors, never garish but usually definite and active. In “Moonrise Kingdom,” the palette tends toward the green of new grass, and the Scout’s khaki brown. Also the right amount of red. It is a comfortable canvas to look at, so pretty that it helps establish the feeling of magical realism.
The approaching turmoil of adolescence is foretold, however, by an approaching hurricane that places the lives of the young explorers in danger. Their trek, their camp and the search for them under the mounting danger reminds me of the sort of serials I used to follow in Boy’s Life magazine, although those regrettably were not co-ed." - Roger Ebert, 2012
A recent summer camp classic, courtesy of Wes Anderson. A fun movie to start with
