‘The Royal Tenenbaums’ Screening at Darb 1718
A comedic masterwork
that ripples with inventive, richly emotional substance. Because of the
all-star cast, hilarious dialogue, and oddball characters existing in
their own, wholly original universe, it’s easy to miss the depth and
complexity of Anderson’s brand of comedy. Here, it revolves around Royal
Tenenbaum, the errant patriarch of a dysfunctional family of geniuses,
including precocious playwright Margot, boyish financier and grieving
widower Chas, and has-been tennis pro Richie. All were raised with
supportive detachment by mother Etheline, and all ache profoundly for a
togetherness they never really had.
