Big Screen Classics: THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS
Monday and Wednesday at the Alamo Ritz
Advance tickets available here
Wes Anderson's true masterpiece back on the big screen!
Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) was, at one time, a successful litigator. His wife Etheline (Angelica Huston) raised their children to be ambitious, entrepreneurial, and creative, even then published an acclaimed book about her child-rearing techniques. Adopted daughter Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow) was a gifted playwright. Son Chas (Ben Stiller) was a masterful businessman with a taste for real estate. And the other son, Richie (Luke Wilson), was a natural tennis champ.
But when Royal packed up his life and left his wife and his family in a cloud of betrayal, everything fell apart.
Twenty years later, the Tenenbaums are a dejected and alienated bunch, each having found that their early successes did not carry over into adulthood. When washed-up Royal learns that his distant wife Etheline, who has become an archaeologist, may remarry, he feigns illness as an excuse to reunite with his estranged family.
