Another absolute gem from Wes Anderson. There is never a dull moment with this film- it is colorful, entrancing, hilarious, bizarre, gorgeous, and witty. Basically, all my favorite things. Fantastic performances, music, and visuals. Anderson knows exactly how to take the simple premise of "guy and girl run away to be together" and make it totally complex, full of memorable side-tracks and details.
