RUSHMORE
dir. Wes Anderson
year. 1998
country. USA
run-time. 93 minutes
rating. 15
The dazzling sophomore film from Wes Anderson is equal parts coming-of-age story, French New Wave homage, and screwball comedy. Tenth grader Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) is Rushmore Academy’s most extracurricular student—and its least scholarly. He faces expulsion and enters into unlikely friendships with both a lovely first-grade teacher (Olivia Williams) and a melancholy self-made millionaire (Bill Murray, in an award-winning performance). Set to a soundtrack of classic British Invasion tunes, Rushmore defies categorisation, capturing the pain and exuberance of adolescence with wit, emotional depth, and cinematic panache. - Film Biography, The Criterion Collection
About Our Season - “Wes Days”
Deptford Cinema is proud to present a year-long season celebrating the work of auteur filmmaker Wes Anderson - called Wes Days. With his incomparable aesthetic vision and offbeat sense of humour, Anderson is one of cinema's quirkiest filmmakers. Known for his witty dialogue and exquisitely decorated sets, he first received attention for his 1998 film Rushmore and his 2001 film The Royal Tenenbaums. He then went on to garner wider audiences for such films as The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), The Darjeeling Limited (2007), and The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014).
Preceding most films in the season will be either a short film or commercial directed by Wes Anderson.
