A dysfunctional family meets in the same house for different reasons. Wes Anderson is perhaps the most imaginative director of the last few decades, with his unmistakable style.
The Royal Tenenbaums is truly revolutionary because of the way it addresses complex issues like depression and grief, and we are often left wondering what's the right emotion to feel, so to speak, to a particular scene or interaction between the characters.
The narrative follows a course very similar to a theater play, like in many others Anderson's films, where the entire structure is built in such a way that everything we see and hear makes sense, and, above all, it's relevant to the story.
Anderson has the Midas touch when it comes to the cast of all his films, whether the "old guard" or newcomers, for the way he manages to create balance and bring spontaneity and ease to the all crew.
Visually it's not one of my favorites, but it's impossible to say that The Royal Tenenbaums isn't a work of art.
