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 one recent winter.
An aesthetic feast for the senses, Wes Anderson’s signature style is on full display here. The film’s eccentric family dynamics and quirky humour hit the right notes for me. It’s like a perfectly curated exhibition of cinema. Loved the vibrant set designs and the soundtrack, though the narrative felt a bit too whimsical at times. Still, it’s a solid pick for a rainy day viewing. ☕️
