Rushmore (US Version)

YesAsia Editorial Description

Director Wes Anderson's follow-up to the acclaimed BOTTLE ROCKET is a funny, warmhearted, and extremely sharp American response to the English "Angry Young Man" films of the 1960s, right down to its British Invasion soundtrack. Newcomer Jason Schwartzman creates a classic protagonist in Max Fischer, a sophomore at Rushmore Academy. He excels at every extracurricular activity in school, from theater to beekeeping. Gradewise, however, he's failing. He has few friends outside school save for wealthy but depressed industrialist Herman Blume (Bill Murray), father of obnoxious twin boys who also attend Rushmore. Enter Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams), a beautiful young widowed teacher at Rushmore Elementary. While Max is immediately smitten with Miss Cross, she finds comfort in the company of the emotionally frazzled Blume. But Max won't let Blume have Miss Cross without a fight. Anderson and cowriter Owen Wilson have created a script brimming with oddball humor at the surface, but at its core lies just enough realistic pain and disappointment to create an all-too-rare bittersweet edge, striking a subtle balance that few films ever achieve, and finally giving national treasure Bill Murray the chance to shine like never before. As director, Anderson displays his exceptional talents with careful choices in color palette, effective use of slow motion to comedic effect, and, most important, a brilliant selection of offbeat songs that are integral to the story. Easily one of the finest comedies since THE GRADUATE, RUSHMORE is a monument to brilliant filmmaking.

"...RUSHMORE is made to be treasured....An immediate American classic..." - Richard, Kelly (Sight And Sound Critic), Sight and Sound, 09/??/1999

"...RUSHMORE stands as the perfect comedy, with excellent characterisation happily skipping along hand in hand with pithy intelligent dialogue and plotting..." -- 5 out of 5 stars - Nick, Hunt (Total Film Critic), Total Film, 03/01/2000

"...[Murray] is at his off-kilter best in this quirky coming-of-age caper..." - Susan, Wloszczyna (USA Today Critic), USA Today, 12/11/1998

"...Bright, spiky....[RUSHMORE] includes a sweet turn by Seymour Cassel..." - Janet, Maslin (New York Times Critic), New York Times, 12/11/1998

"...RUSHMORE feels like a miracle -- a movie whose imaginative audacity is matched by perfect execution....There is so much to admire and adore in RUSHMORE..." - Glenn, Kenny (Premiere/Entertainment Weekly Critic), Premiere, 02/01/1999

"...Like the best filmmakers, director Wes Anderson has an idiosyncratic sensibility, the rare ability to create a world that is completely his own..." - Kenneth, Turan (Los Angeles Times Critic), Los Angeles Times, 12/11/1998

"...Anderson and Wilson are good offbeat filmmakers. They fill the corners of their story with nice touches..." - Roger, Ebert (Critic and screenwriter), Chicago Sun-Times, 02/05/1999
