The Life Aquatic's about a Jacques Cousteau figure who has seen better days... I don't want to give too much else away other than that the film is like a very compassionate, funny, colourful aquarium. I've seen this about five or six times and it keeps revealing more - maybe more surreal than Wes Anderson's other films, less cynical, less clever for its own sake and with more of a heart. And at heart it's a discussion about art, discovery, nuance, beauty; the transcendent power of attention. Hence it's my favourite Wes Anderson film.
