The Life Aquatic (Wes Anderson 2004)

This film gets a 3 because i still think that Wes Anderson is an extremely gifted and talented director. And i shall continue to proudly display Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums in my DVD collection. However, i was very tempted to give it a 2 to reflect my disappointment after seeing the film. It has been a week since i have seen it and i have nothing left of it to hang on to. It is as if the film had been programmed to self-destruct and to disappear from my memory. The experience of the film ended the minute the film ended and i walked out of the cinema. No wait, i think i remember colours…oh yes, and of course, Bill Murray was in it…such nice colours…and lots of little quirky things too…
