We continue to celebrate the legendary work of actor Gene Hackman, with Wes Anderson’s offbeat portrait of a particularly dysfunctional family, The Royal Tenenbaums, as her film programming pick.

The Tenenbaum siblings – Chas (Ben Stiller), Richie (Luke Wilson), and Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow) – are all former child prodigies whose lives have unraveled into disappointment and dysfunction. Their estranged father, Royal Tenenbaum (the late, great Gene Hackman), a charming but deeply flawed man, announces he has a terminal illness in a desperate bid to reconnect with his family, forcing the Tenenbaums to reckon with their shared past and unresolved wounds under the same roof.

Nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards, the film remains one of Anderson’s most beloved works; a richly detailed tragicomedy that captures the beauty and absurdity of lost potential, and another iconic performance by two-time Oscar-winner Gene Hackman.
