What Rushmore Is About

Wes Anderson's 1998 film follows a student who belongs to every club at school and is failing his classes. He becomes attached to a teacher. The school's benefactor is drawn to the same woman. The film puts the two into a ridiculous rivalry; the narrative does not try to make Max likeable and draws a lesson for him at the close. Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray lead. It is the director's second film and where he establishes his form. The tone is dry. Who it's for: those who like Anderson's form and black humour. Who it's not for: viewers expecting a likeable lead; Max is difficult for a long stretch.
