# The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

2001 · R · 108 min · Comedy · United States


## Synopsis

The Royal Tenenbaums is a 2001 American black comedy-drama film directed by Wes Anderson and co-written by him and Owen Wilson. It stars Danny Glover, Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Bill Murray, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, and Owen Wilson. Ostensibly based on a nonexistent novel, and told with a narrative influenced by the writing of J. D. Salinger, it follows the lives of three gifted siblings who experience great success in youth, and even greater disappointment and failure in adulthood. The children's eccentric father, Royal Tenenbaum (Hackman), leaves them in their adolescent years and returns to them after they have grown, claiming that he has a terminal illness. He works on reconciling with his children and wife (Huston), from whom he has been separated, but not divorced.
