The House Where The Royal Tenenbaums was Filmed

The Royal Tenenbaums was this quirky film that fascinated me from beginning to end (the character that wore tennis gear through the whole movie, the almost cartoonish aspects of the characters and certainly, the setting). This film about how the house was chosen only adds to my fascination. Those of us who aren't from New York but who grow up hearing about it all have our own vision of what the city is, and apparently the director of the movie did as well (and brought his personal vision into the movie brilliantly). The Royal Tenenbaums may not be for everyone (is any move for everyone?), but I hope that you'll find this little bit of "the making of" interesting whether or not you liked (or saw) the movie.

  1. Never saw the movie (don't see many movies) but enjoyed the clip. Interesting about blocking the Statue of Liberty....

  2. Elaine, I love movies (have I said that about a thousand times)? Don't see too much tv, but movies are second only to books for me. Lots of bad ones floating around, and The Royal Tenenbaums wouldn't suit everyone, but I'm a big Gene Hackman fan, anyway, and there was just something about the movie that just drew me in. Now I want to see this house.
