Product Description
Moonrise Kingdom is the new movie directed by two-time Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Rushmore). Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of two 12-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore – and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in every which way. Bruce Willis plays the local sheriff, Captain Sharp. Edward Norton is a Khaki Scout troop leader, Scout Master Ward. Bill Murray and Frances McDormand portray the young girl's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bishop. The cast also includes Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, and Bob Balaban; and introduces Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward as Sam and Suzy, the boy and girl.

I don't think Anderson is a one note director even though there is no debate that his films all share a particular feel, style, and tone. When the opportunity presents itself in this film, quite a bit of it takes place outside in larger spaces, his typical meticulous mis-en-scene is showcased. The dialogue is as spare, direct, and tight as ever. Some people apparently find this off-putting since the two leads are children...I think this betrays a lack of familiarity with Anderson (maybe more, but at least this) since he has always handled children /as they are/ - as young adults. I mentioned RT in the title because I think it is the closest to MK in terms of emotional tone. There is a desperation in all of these characters that cuts through my defenses as a viewer. I won't deny being a willing audience, but I have no trouble finding my way into each moment. Finally, to wrap up the general stuff, there is a touch of the fantastic in Moonrise Kingdom that seems like a holdover from the Life Aquatic - but I don't think it is central to the film and it doesn't change the overall tone.
This is an adventure story, and a love story, and an escape story...at times it's tragic, at times funny, at times awkward, and it's almost always exciting. In short this is a movie about being a young (pre-)teen. The leads are in that embarrassing moment in which hormones, desire, and passion meet with inexperience. They are isolated from the world in many ways and alienated from their peers and most of the adults around them. It's the two of them against the world. And the really lovely thing about this film is the way they succeed.
The adults are all disconnected from the children to different degrees (for different reasons), but one of the many exceptional things about the film is the way that each adult is a foil for the leads. One easy example is the failed marriage of Suzy's parents contrasted with the feverish and indomitable love between Suzy and Sam. As is always the case with Anderson, not a moment or exchange is wasted or empty.
I'd like to say more about the movie, but it would really be best for you to just see it.
Product note and two tangents:
- The blu-ray release is very fine in terms of picture and sound, but many fans will find the lack of additional features somewhat disappointing. I am sure that a future release (Criterion maybe) will include such features. In the meantime this bare-bones release will either sate your appetite for the film, or just seem like a money grab, etc. I'm not disappointed enough, or cynical enough, to feel cheated...and besides, I don't want to wait...
- If you're on the fence about this film because you've heard that there is something voyeuristic, pornographic, or indecent about Suzy and Sam's relationship (a particular scene really seems to have bothered some viewers)...please do yourself a favor and put that out of your mind. I have no idea how anyone could find this so offensive...I could venture a guess, but it would be very mean...if you live in a world in which teenagers do not think sexual thoughts, utter sexual sentences, or do sexual things, then you may very well be offended.
- Along the same lines, if you're on the fence because you've heard there is gratuitous violence against an animal...please put that out of your mind also. If you think a good film CANNOT portray an animal being harmed, then you will not think this is a good film. If, instead, you think that a film can portray an animal being harmed as part of a larger story, as part of a particular moment in a character's development, then you should not hesitate to watch the film on this account. For anyone suggesting that the death is unnecessary, callous, or in poor taste, I implore you to watch the film again and consider this moment more carefully. Some people have pointed to RT - since an animal dies in that movie as well - and drawn a larger conclusion about Anderson's lack of concern/care for animals. I worry that these people are not watching the films...these deaths are catalysts for the story, triggers for changes in certain characters, and are deeply emotional moments.
Of course, this film is not for everyone. The leads are children, but the film is not for most children. If you have a strong opinion about Wes Anderson, let that be your guide. I think this is Anderson's best since the Royal Tenenbaums and I cannot break the tie between them for my favorite of his movies.
His films are love letters that have become family in an odd way. I think a person either loves this about a Wes Anderson film or they can't stand it. It's understandable that people can be put off by them. His format is almost a frequency you have to re-calibrate your brain to because there's always something that's just a bit off, quirky, comical, unsettling, overly stylized, non sequitur, symbolic or vague happening -- often many of these at the same time. That's what I love about his films, that they all exhibit these bizarre attributes that start to feel like Michel Gondry was somehow involved in the co-production. I love most every one for the way they send very real ideas into this odd dream space.
Moonrise Kingdom in particular can be summed up in my mind as, "a version of the childhood romance we had mixed with the childhood romance we wish we knew to have." We all had that crush and most of us had the awkward experience where we were the oddball out but what if I approached my middle school crush with that level of confidence and conviction? What if I didn't care what anyone else thought about me and was able to be honest about my feelings at 12? Don't we wish we were all that clear headed? I think the moral of the story is that sometimes we're a hurdle when we mean to be a platform and other times we're a platform when we mean to be a wall. The adults in the film are far more out of touch than the children, which is something I think we can all relate to.
As for those screaming "sex scenes!!" and "oh the children" --oh please. If anyone found that scene arousing, it says more about them than what the scene was intending to say. I found it awkwardly funny, endearing and not unlike the first time any young kid discovers puppy love. I thought the scene was honest and true to how I remember it being at that age. What, you think that's never happened between two middle school aged kids? Have you completely forgotten what those years were like for you? If you're upset over this, you may want to avoid more critically acclaimed films such as "Taxi Driver."
The cinematography of Moonrise Kingdom is stunning, with every shot perfectly framed and composed. The colors and textures of the film are rich and vibrant, creating a visually appealing experience that draws the viewer into the story.
The performances in this film are exceptional, particularly from the two young leads, played by Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward. They bring a sense of innocence and authenticity to their roles, making the audience root for their characters' happiness.
The supporting cast is also impressive, featuring big names such as Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, and Edward Norton. They all bring their unique talents to the table and add to the film's overall charm.
The soundtrack of Moonrise Kingdom is another standout feature. It features an eclectic mix of music that perfectly captures the film's tone and mood. The music helps to elevate the emotions of each scene and immerse the viewer in the story.
Overall, Moonrise Kingdom is a truly delightful film that is both whimsical and touching. It is a testament to the power of love, friendship, and adventure, and a must-watch for anyone looking for a heartwarming cinematic experience.

Ciò detto le edizioni Criterion dei suoi film sono per me imperdibili.
Questa è bellissima, perché include oltre agli extra sul disco anche una bellissima mappa.
Il film è in Inglese con sottotitoli in Inglese ed è l'edizione UK-
Perciò si a lettori blu ray italiani. No a chi non è sicuro del suo inglese.
ブルース・ウィリスとか大物が出演しているけど、あくまでも子供が主役のお話です。
この後どう話が展開するのか?どういった結末を迎えるのか?ドキドキしながら見ていましたが、ちゃんとハッピーエンドで終わってくれて良かったです。BGMもかなり良し。
