I used to screen this when I was a film professor; always loved the composition and framing and tone of the film (in addition to the acting and story). Scary how the film is 23 years old

Also, don’t waste your time with The Alto Knights, just watch Goodfellas. Basically the same movie. #FilmSky #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

unlabelledView post →#FilmHistory On this day, 2001, Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums made its debut at the New York Film Festival. Anderson deliberately created his own version of New York City by largely avoiding recognizable skyscrapers & landmarks, so his vision somehow exists outside of any specific time.
unlabelledView post →Maybe I fell for The Royal Tenenbaums not because of Wes Anderson's attention to detail but just because it was the first movie I saw about burned out adults who had been emotionally neglected child prodigies.

Like, I still like it and quote it, but I just can't justify it being at the top of the list. I think it should swap spots with The Life Aquatic, then I could agree.

unlabelledView post →As someone who's watched all Wes Anderson films as they were released and gone back over the years to rewatch them, my opinion is that Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums are his best 2 films. I think out of those two Royal Tenenbaums is the fan favorite, but the more I watch Rushmore, the more I'm starting to think it's the better of the two overall. Jason Schwartzman, the lead actor, was 16 when it was filmed and he absolutely owns the role. A lot of people, including myself, are starting to…
