Wes Anderson: The First Four

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

Wes Anderson’s big breakthrough film is an idiosyncratic coming-of-age story about a precocious teenager (Anderson regular Jason Schwartzman) who strikes up an improbable friendship with a cynical middle-aged parent (Bill Murray) of two of his schoolmates that is strained when they both become enamored of the same woman (Olivia Williams). The Anderson style really congeals here as the sense of time and setting becomes deranged by the lead character’s (and director’s) anachronistic obsessions with music and fashion. Co-written by Anderson and Owen Wilson.
