Moonrise Kingdom Illustrated Script

This film can only be described as quirky, but only in all the right ways. An eccentric cute tale about two young lovers, Suzy and Sam who run away together on the 12 mile long island penzance in the seventies. I love this film to pieces and i find it difficult to describe why without giving every detail of the whole narrative. Everything is so well formulated. I choose to sample Peter Bradshaw's (Guardain Film Critique) who says "there is ellegance and formal brilliance in Moonrise Kingdom, as well as a lot of gentle winning comedy." Finally he says "Anderson's homemade aesthetic is placed at the service of a counter-digital, almost hand-drawn cinema, and he has an extraordinary ability to conjure a distinctive universe, entire of itself. To some, Moonrise Kingdom may be nothing more than souffle of strangeness, but it rises superbly."

My words could not of beared the film that much justice a poetic summary. Although there is such greatness in the film alone the hidden gem that makes it so much more worthwhile is the illustrated script.

I love the combination between intensly accurate set drawings, screen shots with quotes and rough plans of the camera angles. It gives an insight into the workings of the genius behind the quirky universe that Moonrise Kingdom belongs to. It also shows the care and planning that went into the feature film all of which was worthwhile and to me gives the same warm fuzzy feeling that the film gives.
