'Rushmore' by Kristi Irene McKim (BFI Film Classics paperback 120 pages)
Kristi McKim's compelling study of 'Rushmore' argues that despite the film's titular call for haste and excess (rush/more), it challenges a drive toward perfectionism and celebrates the quiet connections that defy such passion and speed. After establishing Rushmore's history and reception, McKim closely reads Rushmore's energetic musical montages relative to slower moments that introduce tenderness and ambiguity, in a form subtler than Max's desire-built drive or genre-based plays.
