The Royal Tenenbaums (2001 Wes Anderson & co-scr)

He and Owen Wilson wrote this story of a dysfunctional family coming back together. Gene Hackman is the manipulative head of household, with Angelica Houston, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson and Gwyneth Paltrow, and also featuring Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, Danny Glover, Kumar Pallana and Seymour Cassel.

Made with incredible attention to detail, e.g. the typeface used in titles is also in the production design; the dodgy cab company; when Hackman takes the grand kids riding, their dog is running before them in foreground; black Adidas suits at funeral.

Made with the flat on centred style beloved of the director, as quirky and charming as all the others.
