7.5/10 [highly recommended]Royal Tenenbaums is about An estranged family of former child prodigies reunites when one of their member announces he has a terminal illness. (imdb)
An astounding cast of Gene Hackman, Angelica Huston, Danny Glover, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Luke Wilson, Bill Murray... coming togther and strengthening the overall effect of the funny yet poignant plot.
Royal Tenenbaums is able to take a simple plot and build a roller coaster ride of emotions and themes. Each character is carefully crafted and developed to bring out a different element in the film.
A single viewing of this film, for me, was not enough. There's so much detail in the editing, dialgue, characterization and camera angles that one view will not do the film justice. I recommend viewing this film multiple times and each time taking note of a different element.
Royal Tenenbaums is like a moving book. It has chapters where you 1) read, 2)imagine then 3)see. It makes the film so much more interesting because each page that appears, a different "rising action" will take place. It also gives you a chance to pause and think. [you'll know what I mean once you once the film...]
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! smart, funny, freaky, real, dark and deep.
