## Description

Royal Tenenbaum (Unforgiven’s GENE HACKMAN) and his wife, Etheline (Prizzi’s Honor’s ANJELICA HUSTON) had three children - Chas, Margot, and Richie and then they separated. Chas (Meet the Parents’ BEN STILLER) started buying real estate in his early teens and seemed to have an almost preternatural understanding of international finance. Margot (Shakespeare in Love’s GWYNETH PALTROW) was a playwright and received a Braverman Grant of $50,000 in the ninth grade. Richie (Rushmore’s LUKE WILSON) was a junior champion tennis player and won the U.S. Nationals three years in a row. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure, and disaster. The Royal Tenenbaums is a hilarious, touching and brilliantly stylized study of melancholy and redemption from WES ANDERSON (The Darjeeling Limited).DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES:Restored high-definition digital transfer, supervised by director Wes Anderson, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackAudio commentary by Wes AndersonWith the Filmmaker: Portraits by Albert Maysles, featuring Wes AndersonInterviews with and behind-the-scenes footage of actors Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Ben Stiller, Gwyneth Paltrow, Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, and Danny GloverOuttakesThe Peter Bradley Show, featuring interviews with additional cast membersScrapbook featuring young Richie’s murals and paintings, still photographs by set photographer James Hamilton, book and magazine covers, and storyboardsStudio 360 radio segment on painter Miguel Calderón, along with examples of his workTrailers

Review: A Moving Painting Motion Picture - I first saw this film as a sixteen year old on a family outing to the cinema not having heard of Anderson or the film itself. Family outings not being a regular thing at all for me it is extremely coincidental/fortunate/fateful that we should have seen together that night what I now regard as the most moving and funniest films about family relationships I have ever seen (On a par with the Sopranos for me). From the opening scenes with an instrumental Hey Jude the film put a smile on my face introducing the delightful unashamedly quirky characters. The ensemble cast really shines with no one actor trying to steal the show. The attention to detail Anderson shows is immense from costumes to locations (the main house in the film is an actual house redecorated and designed to Anderson's vision) to multiple two second shots (such as Buckley the dog in a cage in the aftermath of a plane crash). I have friends who don't like this movie and I really can't understand why not. The humour may not be everyone's cup of tea. Arrested Development was hugely influenced by this movie and this is also a huge crowd splitter. I am of the general belief that if you really love something and most people don't get it or like it, then you are right, it is great. Maybe you need an understanding or experience of depression, divorce, rejection, suicide, unrequited love, acceptance, loss, jealousy, regret to relate to the characters but who hasn't experienced some if not all of these things. Generally if you're a "deep thinker" you will love this film. Buy it now.
Review: It's a Marmite movie, I love Marmite - The last Wes Anderson film I saw at the cinema had half the audience in tears with amusment, and half stunned in bewilderment. I fall into the former catagory, and adore his twisted sense of humour, where deadly serious moments of drama are used to deliver brilliant comic lines- this leaves me a little guilty at laughing sometimes, but laughing none the less. But there are a lot of people who just don't GET Wes Anderson. I can only agree with any number of reviews here, that the characters in this movie are superb, an amazing cast, amazing performances. Most films made are rubbish. This is a rare exception. Like another reviewer, I have about 140 dvds, but unlike him, I rank this amongst my favourites. I can't guarantee you'll like this movie, but it IS good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Birthday Present
*by K***T on 8 December 2012*

Hilarious and witty comedy, Yet another great film by Wes Anderson. Royal Tenenbaums is basically a film about a dysfunctional family's dynamics, showing the relationships of each of the characters with the main protaganist, Royal Tenenbaum - played wonderfully by Gene Hackman. The whole cast are pefect, with my favourite performances coming from Luke Wilson and Ben Stiller. The soundtrack as always with a Wes Anderson film is fantastically indie and only adds to the style and feel of the film - with songs from; the Rolling Stones, Nico, Nick Drake, The Clash, Paul Simon, and Van Morrison, though my favourite has to be Mutato Muzika Orchestra's version of "Hey Jude" Absolutely love this film and definitely recommend you give it a go, If you haven't seen it you are definitely missing out.
