The Royal Tenenbaums
Directed by Wes Anderson
Royal Tenenbaum and his wife Etheline had three children and then they separated. All three children are extraordinary --- all geniuses. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure, and disaster. Most of this was generally considered to be their father's fault. "The Royal Tenenbaums" is the story of the family's sudden, unexpected reunion… From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →Introducing the 10yo to Wes Anderson tonight and starting with The Royal Tenenbaums. She’s loving it so far. I used to screen this when I was a film professor; always loved the composition and framing and tone of the film (in addition to the acting and story). Scary how the film is 23 years old

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching it this time, I really understood just how much of a masterpiece The Royal Tenenbaums is. Wes and Owen need to co-write another screenplay. Also, don’t waste your time with The Alto Knights, just watch Goodfellas. Basically the same movie. #FilmSky #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

The Conversation, The Royal Tenenbaums, The French Connection, Unforgiven, The Birdcage, Hoosiers, Crimson Tide… and the first film I ever saw him in, Superman. He’ll always be my Lex Luthor.

unlabelledView post →#FilmHistory On this day, 2001, Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums made its debut at the New York Film Festival. Anderson deliberately created his own version of New York City by largely avoiding recognizable skyscrapers & landmarks, so his vision somehow exists outside of any specific time.
neutral · AI labelView post →Maybe I fell for The Royal Tenenbaums not because of Wes Anderson's attention to detail but just because it was the first movie I saw about burned out adults who had been emotionally neglected child prodigies.
positive · AI labelView post →The Royal Tenenbaums OUGH THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD
positive · AI labelView post →I feel like Wes Anderson is making one enormous film, and RUSHMORE, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS, FANTASTIC MR. FOX and THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL were just the good bits from that one film.

Like, I still like it and quote it, but I just can't justify it being at the top of the list. I think it should swap spots with The Life Aquatic, then I could agree.

neutral · AI labelView post →As someone who's watched all Wes Anderson films as they were released and gone back over the years to rewatch them, my opinion is that Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums are his best 2 films. I think out of those two Royal Tenenbaums is the fan favorite, but the more I watch Rushmore, the more I'm starting to think it's the better of the two overall. Jason Schwartzman, the lead actor, was 16 when it was filmed and he absolutely owns the role. A lot of people, including myself, are starting to…

positive · AI labelView post →Come to think of it, Gene Hackman was there for many of my most formative movie experiences. I saw HEIST the day I turned 17, when I was finally old enough to see a rated R movie on my own. The first movie I ever saw in a theater by myself was The Royal Tenenbaums. Jesus.
positive · AI labelView post →Released one month before Ocean's 11 and The Royal Tenenbaums, David Mamet's HEIST often gets overlooked. But it is a terrific old-school thriller where many seasoned actors are at the height of their seemingly effortless credibility. My @spectrumculture.bsky.social case for revisiting it.
