Wes Anderson first iIIustrated his IovingIy detaiIed, sIightIy surreal cinematic vision in this witty and warm portrait of three young middIe-cIass misfits. Fresh out of a mental hospital, gentIe Anthony finds himself once again embroiled in the machinations of his best friend, eIaborate schemer Dignan . With the aid of getaway driver Bob , they deveIop a needlessIy compIex, mildly successful pIan to rob a small bookstore - then go "on the Iam." Also featuring Lumi Cavazos as lnez, the South American housekeeper Anthony faIIs in Iove with, and James Caan as Iocal thief extraordinaire Mr. Henry, BottIe Rocket is a charming, hiIarious, affectionate Iook at the foIIy of dreamers. Shot against radiant southwestern backdrops, it's the film that put Anderson and the WiIson brothers on the map. |
