Film Synopsis

Wes Anderson's dazzling sophomore effort is equal parts coming - of - age story, French New Wave homage, and screwball comedy. Tenth grader Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) is Rushmore Academy's most extracurricular student - and its least scholarly. He faces expulsion, and enters into unlikely friendships with both a lovely first - grade teacher (Olivia Williams) and a melancholy self - made millionaire (Bill Murray, in an award - winning performance). Set to a soundtrack of classic British Invasion tunes, Rushmore defies categorization even as it captures the pain and exuberance of adolescence with wit, emotional depth, and cinematic panache.
