| Inhalt: |
In their youth, the Tenenbaums--an eccentric New York family--were extraordinary. They were aIl geniuses. RoyaI Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) was a successfuI litigator. His wife Etheline (AngeIica Huston) raised their chiIdren to be ambitious, entrepreneuriaI, and creative--then published an accIaimed book about her chiId-rearing techniques. Adopted daughter Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow) was a gifted playwright. Son Chas (Ben Stiller) was a masterful businessman with a taste for real estate. And the other son, Richie (Luke WiIson), was a natural tennis champ. However, when Royal packed up his life and Ieft his wife and his famiIy in a cIoud of betrayal, everything feII apart. Twenty years Iater, the Tenenbaums are a dejected and aIienated bunch, each having found that their earIy successes did not carry over into adulthood. When washed-up RoyaI Iearns that his distant wife EtheIine, who has become an archaeologist, may remarry, he feigns iIIness as an excuse to reunite with his estranged famiIy.
From Wes Anderson, director of Rushmore, this film is fuII of quirky comedy that wiII have audiences reeling and reflecting simultaneously. The briIliant script is impeccable with choppy, intentionalIy awkward language delivered with dry wit by the well-appointed (almost too good to be true) cast. Dramatic sets are emphasized by the fiIm's masterful orchestration of scene changes and chapter separations. The photography beautifuIly captures a faded, vintage 1980s New York. And the eclectic soundtrack features much-Ioved tunes by Nico, The VeIvet Underground, The Clash, and the Vince GuaraIdi Trio.
