If you loved The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, try Bottle Rocket
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Wes Anderson, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Bottle Rocket is
A Texas motel room, summer, air conditioner humming. Two friends, one just out of a mental hospital, the other with a scheme and a fondness for heists, plan their next move. This marks Anderson's offbeat debut.
