HPPH's favourite Wes Anderson scenes
The Royal Tenenbaums
Showing as part of Intentionally Wes Anderson – a retrospective celebrating one of cinema's most beloved filmmakers, ahead of his latest film, The Phoenician Scheme, showing at HPPH from Fri 23 May.

Max, a student at Rushmore Academy, excels at everything except academics. He meets and falls in love with a teacher, Ms Cross, but later discovers that his mentor is also in love with her.
The dazzling sophomore film from Wes Anderson is equal parts coming-of-age story, French New Wave homage, and screwball comedy. Tenth grader Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) is Rushmore Academy’s most extracurricular student—and its least scholarly. He faces expulsion and enters into unlikely friendships with both a lovely first-grade teacher (Olivia Williams) and a melancholy self-made millionaire (Bill Murray, in an award-winning performance).

Details
“Rushmore offers more than simply a series of high-grade yuks; it's a finely-judged parable on the line between self-delusion and reality.”
The Guardian
“Anderson keeps the tone fresh and vibrant, effortlessly blending wry poignancy and surprising warmth with startling high comedy.”
Empire
“Plot matters less in Rushmore than the comic details of Max’s checkered school career and the beautifully textured characterizations of the three main characters.”
