“The Royal Tenenbaums” (2001)

Royal Tenenbaum and his wife, Etheline, have three children — Chas, Margot, and Richie — and then they separate. Chas started buying real estate in his early teens and seemed to have an almost preternatural understanding of international finance. Margot is a playwright and received a Braverman Grant of $50,000 in the 9th grade. Richie is 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. 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.
