"Suzy: I always wished I was an orphan. Most of my favorite characters are. I think your lives are more special.
Sam: I love you, but you don't know what you're talking about."
Welcome to Neverland.
Emerge yourself in a tale with no time and no place.Forget about morals. Forget all you know about society and surrender to this unique tale where two pre teens with grown up souls live a pure love beyond understanding. A love embraced by "a saudade" of a life to come that they know they have to live it now. It's theatrical, it's tragic, it's magic, it's painted.... and you'll want to frame every single bit of it.
In the world of today their innocence take us on a colorful voyage where an awkward romance and magical realism invite us to remember our fantasy worlds where we have been once. And now, through the eyes of a 12 year old, we'll be in search for Neverland with a ten days deadline with binoculars, smoking pipes and a a portable 45 rpm record player.
Like any Wes Anderson film it has his signature all over it: unreal, stunning, quirky, corny acting and beautifully mannered. If you're not a fan of his work you are not going to be one now.
