Lurjukset. US 1995. PC: Gracie Films. D: Wes Anderson. SC: Owen Wilson, Wes Anderson. DP: Robert Yeoman. M: Mark Mothersbaugh. CAST: Luke Wilson (Anthony), Owen Wilson (Dignan), Robert Musgrave (Bob Mapplethorpe), Lumi Cavazos (Inez), James Caan (crime lord). 91 min.
Viewed on vhs (Nordisk Finland 1996).
Wes Anderson's debut feature film is a freewheeling account of three would-be criminals, who are rather stupid than evil.
The title means a small firework, which the guys use in the big caper.
In comparison with Tarantino this is realistic, sensitive, vibrant with life.
There is a touching, tentative relationship between Paraguyan Grace and Anthony.
The spoilt rich Mapplethorpe brothers.
Planning a big caper, a bit I soliti ignoti, but completely original. Also an affinity with early Fellini (I vitelloni).
There is also a soundtrack album.
A favourite of Martin Scorsese, Tony Rayns and Robin Wood.
