About the film
The Royal Tenenbaums at a glance.
Screen Path places this 2001 film at stop 406 in one curated journey through cinema. The learning experience adds context before you watch and deeper analysis after.
Royal Tenenbaum and his wife Etheline had three children and then they separated. All three children are extraordinary --- all geniuses. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure, and disaster. Most of this was generally considered to be their father's fault. "The Royal Tenenbaums" is the story of the family's sudden, unexpected reunion one recent winter.
