Rewatched -- so very fine, witty, generous. "I love you, but you don't know what you're talking about." As you were.

David Bordwell w/ a close reading, and engages Richard Brody's assertion “An auteur is not a brand”:
Some people find an inward-turned world like this to be fey, coy, twee, infantile, precious, or self-indulgent. It seems to me, though, that Anderson’s work from The Life Aquatic onward links up with a literary tradition we associate with J. M. Barrie and G. K. Chesterton. These writers employed childhood fantasy in an effort to imagine a richer, livelier realm behind prosaic reality. Another kindred spirit would be Winsor McCay, like Anderson an obsessively meticulous stylist who gives heft and lilt to dream worlds. In cinema we might recall Greenaway’s The Falls (1980), as obsessive and precious a project as can be imagined.
Indeed, why not mention the most famous figure of all? There is a trace of Lewis Carroll in Moonrise Kingdom’s looking-glass world—its strangely safe tree house, its deadpan absurdity, the habit of lawyers talking as if always in court. Like Carroll, Anderson doesn’t shrink from cruelty; the death of Snoopy is as perfunctory as that of the oysters on which the Walrus and the Carpenter tearfully dine.

Rescreened finite by introducing it to three friends who'd missed it at the time. I think now it's second best after Rushmore. Just beautiful.

Saw this yesterday. Reminded me of Ozu with the head-on camera and very little movement. Even when the camera does rotate it does it in 90 degree increments.
I am probably the last person in the world to realise this. But then the only other WA film I think I've seen is FMF.

the staring contests between bill murray and owen wilson (with that awful mustache) are some of my favorite moments in film

I love WA’s work in general but « Life Aquatic » might be the only one I found so boring it took me a few times to watch it (although there are some great moments).
