THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS

Touchstone, 2002, The Criterion Collection, NTSC, Colour, Stereo, approx. playing time of 110 minutes, Widescreen, Digital Dolby, English subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired; rated 14A.  ISBN 0-7888-3253-0.  Starring Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Danny Glover, Bill Murray, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson.  Very good hard case; outer slip case has some wear and tiny moisture mark at spine bottom.  Discs show a few scuffs/scratches but both play without issues.  Disc one is the movies; disc two are the supplements.  Insert is present.  ‘Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) and his wife Etheline (Anjelica Huston) had three children – Chas, Margot, and Richie – and then they separated.  Chas (Ben Stiller) started buying real estate in his early teens and seemed to have an almost preternatural understanding of international finance.  Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow) was a playwright and received a Braverman Grant of $50,000 in the ninth grade.  Richie (Luke Wilson) was 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.’ (from rear box)
