*Rescheduled* FILM FORUM: Moonrise Kingdom

Film Forum will be viewing Moonrise Kingdom Wednesday, May 24 at 3:00 PM in classroom A. This film DID play Morgantown but not for long in 2012. It’s the end of summer on the New England island of New Penzance and a couple of pen pals hatch a plot to run away togather…and magic ensues.

A splendid film from director Wes Anderson, it was described as an "eccentric, pubescent love story", and featured newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward in the main roles and an ensemble cast, including Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman and Bob Balaban. Moonrise Kingdom received widespread acclaim; review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a rating of 94% based on reviews from 229 critics. The consensus states, "Warm, whimsical, and poignant, the immaculately framed and beautifully acted Moonrise Kingdom presents writer/director Wes Anderson at his idiosyncratic best." You simply won’t be able to forget this charmer.
