Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) and his wife, Etheline (Anjelica Huston), had three children—Chas, Margot, and Richie—and then they separated. Chas (Ben Stiller) started buying real estate in his early teens and seemed to have an almost preternatural understanding of international finance. Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow) was a playwright and received a Braverman Grant of $50,000 in the ninth grade. Richie (Luke Wilson) was a junior champion tennis player and won the U.S. Nationals three years in a row. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure, and disaster. The Royal Tenenbaums is a hilarious, touching, and brilliantly stylized study of melancholy and redemption from Wes Anderson. - Film Biography, The Criterion Collection


About Our Season - “Wes Days”

Deptford Cinema is proud to present a year-long season celebrating the work of auteur filmmaker Wes Anderson - called Wes Days. With his incomparable aesthetic vision and offbeat sense of humour, Anderson is one of cinema's quirkiest filmmakers. Known for his witty dialogue and exquisitely decorated sets, he first received attention for his 1998 film Rushmore and his 2001 film The Royal Tenenbaums. He then went on to garner wider audiences for such films as The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), The Darjeeling Limited (2007), and The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014).

Preceding most films in the season will be either a short film or commercial directed by Wes Anderson.
