Does any other contemporary filmmaker combine whimsy and poignancy better than Wes Anderson? 2004's 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou' is a testament to Anderson's unique and uncompromising vision as a writer and director. Bill Murray stars as the titular oceanographer, leading a stellar ensemble cast including Owen Wilson, Cate Blanchett, Willem Dafoe, Michael Gambon, Jeff Goldblum, Anjelica Huston, and Bud Cort (Harold from 'Harold and Maude'!). That's a lot of talent in one 118 minute film. The movie also has a hell of a soundtrack featuring Seu Jorge's singular covers of David Bowie songs. Honestly worth the price of admission alone, IOHO. Bring your camp chairs for maximum movie-going comfort. Your $6 admission supports the Moxie Cinema, Springfield's original home for the cinematic arts. Movie starts at sundown. Doggy Style food truck on hand for the grub! [Mother's]

"An exquisitely evocative movie that elevates rueful melancholia to a superpower."
— Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times
"The Life Aquatic is a movie deeply immersed in movie lore, and the more seasoned the swimmer the richer the experience."

"The director magically conjures emotional dividends in the film's invigorating last moments, which wordlessly celebrate an underrated and truly Andersonian virtue: solidarity."
— Jessica Winter, Time Out
