About Freeze Frame Presents: The Life Aquatic (2004)

Join us for a celluloid inspired pre-show meal in the Drill Hall Cafe or just come for the film and freshly popped corn.

Not easy to define, The Life Aquatic doesn’t neatly fit into the category of comedy, drama, fantasy or adventure but encompasses elements of all – montaged together in Wes Anderson’s characteristic style. A modern day Ahab pursues revenge on the leviathan that killed his best friend with the help of his loyal crew, a sceptical ex-wife and a long abandoned potential son.

The list of top Hollywood brass in this film is long but at the fore is the monotonic Bill Murray, the majestical Anjelica Huston and playing the bond company stooge, Bud Court – who is of course best known as Harold in the classic Harold and Maude (also playing as part of the Creative Community Cinema programme). With a soundtrack by Seu Jorge reimagining David Bowie tracks and featuring stop motion animation by Henry Selick its a bit of a cinematic mash-up which didn’t work for a lot of critics but, as Roger Ebert said, ‘Since it does so many other things, does it have to work, too? Can’t it just exist?’

Cast: Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Anjelica Huston

Director: Wes Anderson 2004 I 119 mins.

Tickets and Pricing

Film + delicious 2-course film-inspired meal: £22
