The Royal Tenenbaums (MA 15+) Presented on 35mm
The Royal Tenenbaums at Revival House Perth
Enter the whimsical and melancholy world of Wes Anderson's 2001 masterpiece about a family of former child prodigies reunited by crisis. When patriarch Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) announces he's dying, his estranged family gathers in their childhood home - a grand New York townhouse filled with memories of their extraordinary past. Former tennis prodigy Richie (Luke Wilson), playwright Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow), and business genius Chas (Ben Stiller) must confront their shared disappointments and fractured relationships.
Anderson's meticulously crafted visual style, combined with an ensemble cast including Anjelica Huston, Bill Murray, and Danny Glover, creates a bittersweet tale of dysfunctional love and second chances. With its distinctive production design, carefully curated soundtrack, and deadpan humor, The Royal Tenenbaums established Anderson as one of cinema's most distinctive voices.
This poignant comedy-drama explores themes of family, failure, and the possibility of redemption with Anderson's signature blend of wit and genuine emotion.
