Moonrise Kingdom

Wes Anderson's latest has a love struck Boy Scout (Jared Gilman) running away with the daughter (Kara Hayward) of two quirky lawyers (Billy Murray and Frances McDormand). Despite a search party led by a staunch scoutmaster (Edward Norton) and the town's sheriff (Bruce Willis), the two adolescents continue to elude the adults. Though the residents are isolated on a small island, the retro 1960s vibe still saturates the film's aesthetic. Many elements might be familiar to Anderson fans, but it's still a pleasure to watch. Featurettes, including a tour around the set with Bill Murray, are included on the DVD.

That's My Boy

Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg join forces for a broad, obnoxious comedy about father-son bonding. Donnie (Sandler) shows up days before his estranged son's (Andy Samberg) wedding, hoping his successful kid will be the key to solving his financial issues. Over the course of the weekend, the two reconnect, but not before a series of gross-out stunts and hard-to-watch bodily fluid gags. Leighton Meester and Vanilla Ice also star. DVD extras include a gag reel, deleted scenes, and three featurettes.

Meet the Euro Pop Princesses of the '60s: Yé-Yé Girls

Are the yé-yé girls having a resurgence?

Are the yé-yé girls having a resurgence? First there was Megan's infamous Mad Men song and dance number, and then they came up again in Wes Anderson's latest film, Moonrise Kingdom. In the film — set in 1965, a year before this season of Mad Men — Suzy Bishop is one half of the lovesick preteen couple at the center of the movie. While her style is clearly fashioned after the yé-yé girls, Suzy's interest in the pop singers is brought up at one point when she shows her love interest, Sam Shakusky, her favorite album, Tous les Garçons et les Filles by yé-yé girl Françoise Hardy. Later in the movie, Sam and Suzy have a very entertaining dance scene on the beach in their underwear to her song "Le Temps de l'Amour" ("The Time of Love").

Derived from "yeah! yeah!", the yé-yé movement was comprised of female pop singers from France, Québec, Italy, and Spain. The themes and lyrics of the songs, often written by men like Serge Gainsbourg, were deceptively innocent, as the girls beamed sexy naiveté. One not-so-innocent song Serge wrote for yé-yé singer France Gall was "Les Sucettes" ("Lollipops"), which was really referring to oral sex. It included the line, "Annie loves lollipops, aniseed lollipops, when the sweet liquid runs down Annie's throat, she is in paradise." In honor of France's Bastille Day holiday tomorrow, learn more about other popular yé-yé girls like Gillian Hills, Sylvie Vartan, and Sheila.

Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward star as a young couple in love in the quirky Wes Anderson comedy Moonrise Kingdom. The two newcomers may be hitting the big screen for the first time, but they managed to hold their own alongside an all-star cast.

Behind the Scenes of Moonrise Kingdom's Imaginative Set Design

After watching Moonrise Kingdom, I couldn't stop thinking about the beautiful imagery, which seemed as crucial to the story as the plot.

After watching Moonrise Kingdom, I couldn't stop thinking about the beautiful imagery, which seemed as crucial to the story as the plot. Wes Anderson's depiction of two lovesick runaways living in 1960s New England was laced with campy references, stunning antiques, and picturesque shots of coastal scenery. I was curious to find out how production designer Adam Stockhausen balanced authenticity with the fantastical quirkiness that characterized the film.

After the film debuted as the opening picture at Cannes, I finally had a moment to chat with Adam about his greatest inspiration and challenges for the film.

CasaSugar: The 1960s seems to be an era that is resurfacing in design, and certainly in pop culture. Was your inspiration guided more by capturing the authenticity of that era or by creating atmospheres that expressed the quirkiness and individuality of each of the characters? How so?

Adam Stockhausen: It's really all about the characters. The Bishops, for instance, are a very unique family and we spent a long time assembling the final look of their house from all the pieces we had seen and responded to. Some details are very clearly '60s and others from earlier periods. The same goes for the rest of the characters. We started out thinking Captain Sharp would live in a cabin, but then the Spartanette felt like just the right fit for his bachelor personality.

Jason Schwartzman is a frequent face in Wes Anderson's films, having starred in Rushmore and The Darjeeling Limited, and the duo collaborated yet again on Wes's latest movie Moonrise Kingdom. The quirky young-love story enjoyed a Cannes Film Festival debut last month. We caught up with Jason during his stay in France to talk about what draws him to offbeat roles and whether he shares a love for the outdoors like many of the characters in Moonrise Kingdom. He also weighed in on his surreal Cannes experience and a dating experience that was a dealbreaker for him. Moonrise Kingdom is in select theaters now.
