The Royal Tenenbaums, 2001
“The Royal Tenenbaums,” a comedy directed by Wes Anderson and released in 2001, is a great blend of sorrow and dry humor. The film follows three talented siblings who were very successful as children but have struggled as adults. When their eccentric and slightly alienated father informs them that he is dying, the kids become entangled in a series of escapades that push them to confront their problematic upbringing. Gene Hackman and Anjelica Huston lead a superb cast that includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Luke Wilson, Ben Stiller, Bill Murray, Danny Glover, and Owen Wilson.
