Having posted yesterday's gloomy prognostications I sat myself down and watched Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom (2012) - this transpired to be a terrific cure for gloominess.
Anderson is not to everyone's taste, the Groupie for example finds his offerings wilfully and distractingly weird. I agree that they are definitely weird but I also find them charming and funny.
Moonrise Kingdom is co-written with Roman Copolla (Hollywood royalty at work) and is the story of a pair of twelve year old star-crossed lovers in 1965 New England. All sorts of allusions are at play - a sort of madcap Romeo and Juliet meets Peter Pan. 7.5/10.
