Les mésaventures de Max Fischer, élève de la Rushmore Academy. Personnage hors normes, génie fougueux et brouillon, Max ne peut fournir qu'un minimum d'efforts à ses études et s'est résigné à devenir l'un des pires cancres de son établissement. En dépit de ses échecs scolaires et des admonestations répétées de son directeur, Rushmore n'en reste pas moins à ses yeux un paradis et un sanctuaire idéal pour exercer en toute liberté son inlassable créativité.

Après Ruben Östlund, j'ai décidé d'explorer l'œuvre de Wes Anderson. N'ayant pas trouvé son premier film, j'ai commencé par sa deuxième œuvre, disponible sur Disney+ avec quelques autres films de ce réalisateur original. C'était amusant de voir Jason Schwartzman dans son adolescence, peut-être dans son unique rôle principal. Une agréable séance trois étoiles qui ne peut faire de mal à personne.

Wes Anderson is usually unique, but here he still had significant reservations in terms of narrative pace and style. Even then, it was a portion of original entertainment with a sheer essence of melancholy, but the story as a whole, although we have all been platonically in love with a young smiling teacher at some point, drags on very slowly and I can only catch glimpses of it through slowed-down shots, a fantastic soundtrack, or occasional charmingly weird gags. As a whole, however, Rushmore is so specifically self-contained that I eagerly look forward to the director's shift to my favorite family three years later.

A brilliant Wes Anderson – as always, really. I had a bit of a problem believing Jason Schwartzman was a 15-year-old boy, but then I found out he was about 17 at the time of filming and I figured he was actually well cast because his Max was supposed to look that way. And Bill Murray is a safe bet, of course. The amount of emotion he can put into one look, another actor can't do in a whole film.

During the first half hour I looked forward to giving it five stars. Anderson sucked me into a world full of quirky characters, real feelings and delicate quips, and, smiling from ear to ear, I listened to every retort and watched every expression of the greatly cast actors (Bill Murray in particular, with another over-the-top role). But the humour gradually decreases, both in the dialogues and the development of the characters and their confrontations, yet the film never ceases being one of the most adorable genre contributions from the 90s, with a romantic line that works wonderfully in its own absurdity and unique world, and characters that are guaranteed to be etched in your memory. And the low-key but solid soundtrack adds to the colour. Let yourselves be drawn in and you are sure to have fun, though not all the way to 5*.

This film stands without question especially on the performance of Jason Schwartzman, who was perfect and convincing in his role. Bill Murray and Olivia Williams also complemented him brilliantly. Even though it's rich in plot and appealing, I can't shake the impression that there was something missing that would have made me smile or think, perhaps more significantly. Too bad! All in all, definitely unordinary American comedy that doesn't offend and delights.

I like Wes Anderson's films, but I don't consider this one to be his best. His poetic style is already felt here; it's pleasantly offbeat, but the main character is really awful. You can easily hate her. Moreover, the story won't captivate you as much as Anderson's other works. The acting was good, but I guess I expected more.
