A panning shot, a few jump cuts and a whole lot of tracking, all in the first 5 minutes of the film, nothing seems clustered in this interesting take on young romance from the brilliant Wes Anderson. Moonrise Kingdom is a gem to watch, perhaps his most passionate film yet. After having watched the fantastic the Darjeeling Limited and the Fantastic Mr Fox, i was eager to see what Mr Anderson would do next with his subtle filmmaking style.
The film itself centers on to young lovers in a more loving setting, 1965 to be precise. Newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward play our protagonists Sam and Suzy. The two are unpopular in their private circles but smart in their own right. After an encounter in a school play that breeds love at first sight, the two run away together far into the woods leaving behind a semi-worried search party. it wont all go wrong though as Sam is a scout learning how to do things that ahem..scouts do. Suzy on the other hand is our princess totally embroiled in her new loves bad boy image.
