I saw The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou this afternoon, Dear Readers. Beyond its very odd and difficult-to-market title, this is one very off-beat and strange movie. The humor is downright arid, and I'm not sure whether the attempts at symbolism in the movie were intended to be serious or funny. I was never certain whether Mr. Bill Murray was playing his character sincerely or smirking at it as he played it. Miss Anjelica Houston is notable as Mr. Murray's wife, as is Mr. Jeff Goldblum as his nemesis.
