Fantastic Mr. Fox
Directed by Wes Anderson (USA, 2009, 88 min.). Digital.
Set in the British countryside during the autumn harvest, Wes Anderson’s stop-motion animated adaptation of Roald Dahl’s novel is steeped in the warm orange tones of Halloween candy wrappers, secondhand sofas, and amply lapeled corduroy blazers, stirring up feelings of mischief and nostalgia. After 12 years of married bliss, the titular trickster (George Clooney) breaks a promise to his wife (Meryl Streep) by raiding the farms of their human neighbors, Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. Giving in to his animal instincts endangers not only his marriage but also the lives of his family and their animal friends. When the farmers force Mr. Fox and company deep underground, he has to resort to his natural craftiness to outwit the bloodthirsty rubes.
