It's also worth mentioning the film's soundtrack, as the song choices contribute heavily to the feel of the film. Songs by Nico, Dylan, the Velvet Underground and Nick Drake lend a dreamy timeless quality while certain characters and episodes benefit hugely from the music - Eli Cash and the Clash for instance, or Elliot Smith's Needle in the Hay playing over one pivotal point in the film.
I would recommend this film wholeheartedly to anyone who likes their films a little off centre - if you enjoyed Amelie, say or American Beauty then I think you would love this..
Royal Tenenbaums is a thought provoking film which deals with deep issues like incest with sensitivity but is still essentially a life-affirming comedy. Like Amelie, its story is told in a “photo comic book” format, which, with the 70s haircuts on show, make it seem strangely both a period piece and a modern film dealing with contemporary issues. An excellent film with some fine performances.
I can see how some people may find it tedious as it is definitely not your bog standard Hollywood film. I find it really clever, well narrated and the characters/actors and actresses played really well. (my fav character is that Indian man who follows Royal everywhere!!) There's always something new and subtle which I seemed to find everytime I watched the film again.
Perhaps it won't appeal to most, but I definitely give it a 5 stars.
