re: NSIAP: Moonrise Kingdom?

I like his movies, but he has his flaws. It is artsy quirky, with a lot of detail and things going on in the background. There's a lot of stoic acting. He uses a lot of the same actors, but that's common for directors.

I think Bottle Rocket is one of his easiest films for a first timer to watch. My least favorite of his movies was Darjeeling Limited, and at the same time, I have a soft spot in my heart for the Life Aquatic, which a lot of people hate. Rushmore and the Royal Tenebaums are probably the two of best films that accurately sum up his style.
