Wes Anderson retrospectief

The countdown has begun, as Wes Anderson’s latest film Astroid City premieres on June 22. In the run-up to this, Cinecitta will show films by this director for six weeks in a row. Would you like to get acquainted with the world of Wes Anderson – where absurdism, symmetry, misfits and eternal youth are central – or have you always wanted to watch his films on silverscreen? We will show Moonrise Kingdom, Isle of Dogs, The Grand Budapest Hotel,  Fantastic Mr. Fox, Darjeeling Limits and The French Dispatch!

Moonrise Kingdom

When teenagers Sam and Suzy run away from home in the summer of 1965, the normally quiet island on the American east coast is in turmoil. Everyone is mobilized to track down the two: from the local Boy Scouts to which Sam belongs  led by hopman Ward (Edward Norton) to the sullen Sheriff Sharp (Bruce Willis) who has a secret affair with Suzy’s mother (Frances McDormand). A threatening storm and the arrival of the strict youth care worker (Tilda Swinton) put events on edge.
