While I couldn't help but think of Wes Anderson while watching The Brothers Bloom, this film still struck me as a movie with its own soul and story to tell. Like Penelope (another one of my favorites), it takes place in present day, yet is evocative of both an classic parable (in its structure and narration) and a 1940's comedy (in its tightly-styled costumes, dialogue, and mannerisms). I love a good caper flick and the fact that the story has its characters globe-trotting makes me love it even more.
