The thrilling conclusion of our Wes Anderson series is here! This week, we take a close look at Moonrise Kingdom and its mythic and musical roots. What lies beneath the surface of this seemingly familiar story of star-crossed lovers? What makes the island of New Penzance such a unique place to set the scene? And what does Noah’s Flood - the Biblical story and the opera by Benjamin Britten - have to do with all of this? — Check out our merch store for Midnight Myth, Boomerangerang, Sleep & Sorcery and Wheel of Ka tees and totes!
