We have partnered with our friends from Capricorn Books to celebrate the release of the new travel book Accidentally Wes Anderson: Adventures. The book's photographers Lisa Schaffer and Simon Wernovsky will join us in person to talk about their creative experience and will introduce the movie. They will also be in our lobby signing copies before and after the film. Pre-order your copy of the book »

Wes Anderson’s third feature would cement his stylistic and symmetrical approach to cinema going forward. In what many consider to be his best film, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS tells the story of three gifted siblings whose successes as youths have led to failure and betrayal in their adulthood. The family’s sudden reunion is brought on after their absent yet eccentric father returns to the fold. Drawing from the works of author J.D. Salinger, this quirky comedy boasts an impressive soundtrack and equally impressive cast that includes Gene Hackman, Angelica Huston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, Bill Murray, Danny Glover, and Owen Wilson. Rated R.
