the life acquatic

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zisou has the best film soundtrack for 2004! What's better than Seu Jorge singing old school David Bowie in bossa nova style Portugese? I only wish there'd been more of Seu Jorge who played the hero in City of God. I wish there'd been more of Noah Taylor too but as always, he's relegated to a sense of I've seen that guy before, now, what movie was he in? (it was Shine primarily, but also the techie guy in Tombraider, and great in a bunch of other Australian films). I've always liked Angelica Huston and she was more of Etheline Tannenbaum and Morticia Addams in this offbeat film that is far from the usual and uninteresting for 2004.
