Incredibly eccentric and charming

Rating: Null/10 (26 September 2012)

The only other Wes Anderson film I have ever seen is Fantastic Mr. Fox, but this has, undeniably, the same tone and style in many ways. I think technically-wise, it's pretty amazing. The staging of certain scenes, along with the cinematography, editing, and music score are all wonderful (although I wonder how much of the score is original). The story is also told in a very charming, light-hearted way, but it isn't a "kid's film". There's really not much to say except that it's an eccentric, charming, wonderfully creative film that feels completely alive, and so, so different from the many formulaic films out right now. Or maybe I hadn't seen a film this great in a long time. Call it an actual original "romantic comedy".
