Bottle Rocket (1993)
6/10
A little bit raw, but fine as a beginning of a brilliant career
29 February 2020
What you're about to watch is the first Wes Anderson's short movie and a brave probably Tarantino inspired step into the world of 'dramadies'. It's pretty quickly wrapped-up and the characters are not portrayed in any detail, the viewer knows close to nothing about them. At the same time it doesn't prevent from enjoying lively, witty dialogs which are sertainly worth attention. You can easily spot some trouble when it comes to recording movement: the camera seems extremely unstable in the second scene, for instance, when the fellows chatter about the series 'Starsky & Hutch', but when it comes to portraits it's just fine. There are some genuinely great phrases and parts which aren't changed afterwards while getting into the feature with the exact same name only made 2 years later. The plot itself seems quite ethereal whereas acting, editing and production are the things which truly make this a good start for a bright director's future career.
