The Royal Tenenbaums (2001 Wes Anderson)

With its story-book references, ironic titling and dalmation mice, immediately establishes itself as belonging in the fairytale world of Wes Anderson, a director who is quite happy making the same kind of Magical Kingdom film again and again, with no bad guys. This one is written by he and Owen Wilson and stars Bill Murray, Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Luke & Owen Wilson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Stiller, with Kumar Pallana (also The Darjeeling Limited and Rushmore), Danny Glover and Seymour Cassel ( I love the way they become lift operators).

Most overdue. Shot as always by the colourful Robert Yeoman, in Panavision.
