The Royal Tenenbaums

Free Member Screening—Introduction by Poster Designer Dawn Baillie

To celebrate the continuing career of legendary poster designer Dawn Baillie, whose work is on display in the Jane Peck Gallery, join us for a special FREE MEMBER SCREENING of Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums.

The screening will be introduced by Dawn Baillie and Angelina Lippert, Executive Director and Curator of Poster House. After the film, Dawn and Angelina will be on hand upstairs in the Jane Peck Gallery to answer questions about the exhibit. Take 3 Wine Bar & Café will be open while guests explore the exhibit.

Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) and his wife Etheline (Anjelica Huston) had three children and then they separated. All three children are extraordinaryall geniuses. 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.

This event is presented in partnership with:

"Each character, as ever, is tucked into a shell of his or her obsessions, and yet the filming itself—the grace of Anderson's draftsmanship, as it were—binds the figures together into a team."
Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
