Rushmore - 1998 ***

You can sort of understand that this film was partly written by Owen Wilson, because it's very strange indeed, and anything that Bill Murray stars in seems to be most peculiar, and so put them both together and you have this film about a freakishly clever boy called Max at high school who, regardless of the consequences, spends most of his time taking part in extracurricular activities and spending almost no time with his academia.

Bill Murray sees something in him that fascinates him and they become friends, and shortly after, a new teacher arrives at the school who starts Max off on an obsessive infatuation. It's a very odd film but there is something about it you will probably relate to, and certainly one that people say should be seen. I second that, but I'm still not entirely sure why.
