Uniform Title
Summary
"The dazzling sophomore film from Wes Anderson is equal parts coming-of-age story, French New Wave homage, and screwball comedy. Tenth grader Max Fischer is Rushmore Academy's most extracurricular student--and its least scholarly. He faces expulsion, and enters into unlikely friendships with both a lovely first-grade teacher and a melancholy self-made millionaire. Set to a soundtrack of classic British Invasion tunes, Rushmore defies categorization; it captures the pain and exuberance of adolescence with wit, emotional depth, and cinematic panache."--Container.
