Rushmore

Rushmore (1998) starring Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Olivia Williams. A wunderkind named Max Fischer (Schwartzman) at a private school named Rushmore falls for a teacher named Rosemary Cross (Williams). He seeks the help of industrialist Herman Blume (Murray), but Blume ends up falling in love with Rosemary also. The two end up in a demented competition for her affections, with neither of them having a chance in hell. To my surprise, Max got thrown out of Rushmore rather early in the movie. This is a curiously likable little film, with interestingly drawn characters who really seem to care about each other. The subtitles and captions are good. Grade: B+
