The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

I liked this film so much that I saw it twice over the holidays. Here's the Salon interview with Wes Anderson. Update: And here's an essay on n+1 arguing that Life Aquatic is just too hipster to be any good. Of course Anderson's work is always lovingly punctuated by pop culture references, but for me the movie is built on the sweet, dysfunctional connections between the various characters. Then again, I'm not the jaded Brooklynite with a trust fund that Lorentzen is so familiar with, so I don't have the dubious pleasure of viewing the world from that perspective.
