The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)

This got panned all over the place when it came out and I never understood why, because man, I love this movie—for me it’s the #2 Wes Anderson behind The Royal Tenenbaums. Stacked cast, it’s very funny in that low-key Bill Murray/Owen Wilson way, and honestly the ending hits me in the feels.

I’m on board with you. It is a supremely stylish slice of cinema: immaculate sets, costuming, and cast. And the soundtrack, definitely Wes Anderson’s best. Style didn’t carry this film, the story did: a hilarious, deeply humane story about aging, grief, and finding purpose.
