An ode to young lovers from that patriarch of elegant quirk, Wes Anderson.
Set on a picturesque New England island in a Kodachrome summer of ’65, MOONRISE KINGDOM tells the story of Suzy and Sam, two troubled 12-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As parents, authorities, and an entire Khaki Scout Troop mobilize to find them, a violent storm is brewing off-shore – and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in every which way.
Starring Anderson troupe regulars Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman, along with heavy-hitters like Frances McDormand, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Tilda Swinton, and Harvey Keitel (plus the always welcome Bob Balaban), MOONRISE KINGDOM is a charm-saturated ‘60s romp awash in Anderson’s unconventional style.
