The director behind such cult classics as Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, Wes Anderson, returns with a tale of catastrophic weather, off-kilter community and young love.
It’s the 1960’s and on a small island off the coast of New England, eccentric youngsters Sam (Jared Gilman) and Suzy (Kara Hayward) fall in love and decide to run away. With a storm brewing offshore, the sleepy town is thrown into uproar as Suzy’s parents (Bill Murray and Frances McDormand), social services (Tilda Swinton), a renegade Scout Master (Edward Norton) and the long-suffering Sheriff (Bruce Willis) race to find the missing kids.
Fuelled by the director’s unparalleled eye for character, colour and quirk, the utterly charming and heartfelt Moonrise Kingdom is being touted as Anderson’s most ambitious film to date.
