The 15-year old hero, Max Fisher, loves his elite prep boarding school but he faces  a pressing problem. Although he leads almost every extra-curricula club in the school and although he is a genius on many fronts, he is academically underperforming and  on the verge of being expelled.&nbsp; Falling in love with a teacher does not help his cause.&nbsp; Anderson goes even further than in <i>Bottle Rocket<\/i> to drill deeply into the complexities of human relationships. Anderson places five other main characters into Max&#8217;s world and every single relationship is unique but deep. I enjoyed every minute of this extraordinary  film. Go see it. And after you have watched it read a bit more about the fascinating back ground of the film on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rushmore_film\">Wikipedia<\/a>. Anderson&#8217;s 2nd film also lost money, proving that high art and commercial success often do not coincide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wes Anderson&#8217;s 2nd film, released in 1998,&nbsp; is an even bigger surprise than Bottle Rocket.
