LA RECENSIONE
Imagine a pre-adolescent love story.
Put it in the hands of a whimsical director with a visual touch that is stylistically impeccable and aesthetically perfect; in fact, let him offer moments of controlled allegorical madness.
Suppose he is also the screenwriter and, as he has accustomed us to in the past, he is not content with creating surreal situations in contexts that in other hands might simply turn into either drama or comedy… No, everything in his film serves the message (which in this case concerns the construction and deconstruction of emotions through life's stages) even the soundtrack (magnificent).
Add a handful of formidable actors who for once are content to play "supporting roles" to two very young newcomers.
And here it is: if you then add that it is a film to "live" deeply from the first frame to the end of the credits (lest you miss important parts of the subtext) perhaps you will come close to realizing what "Moonrise Kingdom" is.
Mo.
P.S. It's '65 on an island off the east coast of the States, and two kids, both with family issues (though of different magnitude), plan a romantic and "adventurous" escape…

The character that struck me the most is the stupid cop (by his own admission), very understanding, ... who wants to become the adoptive father of the orphan Sam.
I don’t know but it seems more like a film for kids than for adults ... but more or less I’ve always remained a child at heart.
