"Moonrise Kingdom" Reviews/Discussion - 2016 Comedy Challenge: Week 3
For discussion during week 3 (Nov. 15-21) of the 2016 Comedy Challenge. Watch it on November 20 to check off the Romantic Comedy theme!
Moonrise Kingdom is a 2012 American coming-of-age film directed by Wes Anderson, and written by Anderson and Roman Coppola. Described as an "eccentric, pubescent love story", it features newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward in the main roles and an ensemble cast. Filming took place in Rhode Island from April to June 2011. Worldwide rights to the independently produced film were acquired by Focus Features.
While preparing the script for Moonrise Kingdom, director Wes Anderson viewed films about young love like Black Jack, Small Change, A Little Romance, and Melody for inspiration.
The film received critical acclaim and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.
