Fantastic Mr. Fox

Part of our Cult Movie Nights series. We are also hosting a family-friendly Saturday matinee screening of Fantastic Mr Fox.

A stop motion animated film from Wes Anderson: After 12 years of bucolic bliss, Mr. Fox (George Clooney) breaks a promise to his wife (Meryl Streep) and raids 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 rise above the opposition.

Visually, the movie is a wonder, with its profusion of detail and exquisitely focussed “performances” by the figurines, whom Anderson frames in images as precisely composed as those in his live-action work.

A fantastic tale about our inner nature and how we create or not community.
