The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

What a beautiful, unique film. Wes Anderson has this incredible style to every film he makes which is not just seamless throughout the film but throughout his collection. Incredible. I loved the quirky cinematography and colour grade and the acting and the script and the-

Well, and the entire film in general really.

Bill Murray is, and always will be, the core of every film he is in and this is no exception. He embodies his character perfectly, making him complex and funny and intricately interesting. Owen Wilson was one of the biggest surprises of this film. I hadn't realised he was in it but the second he came on screen I immediately forgot any marginally annoying quirks he has in the other films he's in. But my favourite character was definitely Jane, perfectly played by Cate Blanchett, with a close second of Eleanor Zissou, played by Anjelica Huston. They are simply very interesting and fascinating characters to watch, of course, backed by extremely talented actresses.

In a sentence: One of the most beautiful, quirky, outlandish films I have ever seen.

[But of course, I would more than recommend it.]
