Damn good movie. I recommend it highly.
I need to see The Royal Tenenbaums again, this put me in the mood to see some more Wes Anderson stuff.

One thing I love that I’ve been seeing in movies nowdays is wonderful retro anachronism. The Life Aquatic features acoustic couplers for speakerphones, bleepy pre-techno music by Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh, and a wonderful World War II era submarine-hunter-turned-oceanographic-vessel, another favorite of mine Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events has reel-to-reel tapes in the dashboard of 40’s style cars and the count arriving in his autogyro.

The Life Aquatic sets itself in a purposefully vague time period. Team Zissou is a relic, but that’s a wonderful thing. It give us a glance into a world no more. I only wish I had Team Zissou styled adidas.
