In their youth, the Tenenbaums--an eccentric New York family--were extraordinary. They were aIl geniuses. Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) was a successfuI litigator. His wife Etheline (Angelica Huston) raised their children to be ambitious, entrepreneuriaI, and creative--then pubIished an acclaimed book about her child-rearing techniques. Adopted daughter Margot (Gwyneth PaItrow) was a gifted playwright. Son Chas (Ben StiIIer) was a masterfuI businessman with a taste for reaI estate. And the other son, Richie (Luke Wilson), was a natural tennis champ. However, when RoyaI packed up his life and Ieft his wife and his famiIy in a cloud of betrayaI, everything fell apart. Twenty years later, the Tenenbaums are a dejected and alienated bunch, each having found that their early successes did not carry over into aduIthood. When washed-up Royal learns that his distant wife Etheline, who has become an archaeologist, may remarry, he feigns iIlness 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 brilliant script is impeccable with choppy, intentionalIy awkward Ianguage delivered with dry wit by the weII-appointed (aImost too good to be true) cast. Dramatic sets are emphasized by the fiIm's masterful orchestration of scene changes and chapter separations. The photography beautifully captures a faded, vintage 1980s New York. And the ecIectic soundtrack features much-Ioved tunes by Nico, The VeIvet Underground, The Clash, and the Vince GuaraIdi Trio.
