The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou was my first Wes Anderson film, and I loved it.
Anderson is an auteur guided by a passionate imagination. In The Life Aquatic, he fashions a beautiful, fantastic world that is so removed from reality, and yet at the same time, grounded with a true-to-life pathos. The venerable Bill Murray plays Steve Zissou as a postmodern Captain Ahab, a man who defies all his past professional and relational failures by embarking on his greatest adventure yet. His quest is fantastical, but its underlying emotions are poignant and deep.
