Wes Anderson doesn’t get enough credit for experimenting with Bill Murray’s facial hair. Anderson captured an untapped resource with Murray’s moustache in Rushmore, pscyhiatry beard in The Royal Tenenbaums, and faux “Hemingway” in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
Conversely, I remember thinking Murray seemed highly “shaved” throughout Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation the first time I saw it (at least to me, he seems to have just a bit of stubble going on in a lot of his movies). Coppola took Murray’s grooming to the next level in Lost…, bringing out Murray’s scarred skin, which becomes more expressive as he ages into his rugged mug.
Critic Antonia Quirke describes Murray in Coppola’s film as, “Sexy with his bad skin, pockmarks so deep his complexion seems dotted with bits of chewed gum.” I love that description.

Rushmore is excellent. Great choice. It’s a classic which lives on my AppleTV indefinitely.
