Rushmore

Before there were “Wes Anderson films,” Wes Anderson made an unexpected sophomore breakout so rich, so sparkling, so tonally perfect that it bought him the freedom to make whatever he wanted . . . which was Wes Anderson films. Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, and Oliva Williams sweetly play real people with problems caught up in a love triangle at a private school with a minimum of neatsy fonts and symmetrical compositions. -Lee Gardner
