Rushmore (Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] Reviews

The psychological and spiritual antithesis of the cool, hip Ferris Bueller, Max Fischer in Wes Anderson’s Rushmore is a one man army of plucky ambition, unending intestinal fortitude, and never-say-die persistence. And the film that sports him as its main character has much of the same undying spirit: it’s quirky, droll, and utterly delightful. That the character is a lovable oddball, the kind of guy who feels bad if you injure your knuckles while punching him out, keeps him forever in the viewer’s good graces, enough so that when one thinks he might tire of his never ending pursuit of what he wants, his charming goofiness always wins the day.
