Gene Hackman in The Royal Tenenbaums (Wes Anderson, 2001)
Cast: Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Ben Stiller, Gwyneth Paltrow, Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, Danny Glover, Seymour Cassel, Kumar Pallana, Grant Rosenmeyer, Jonah Meyerson, Alec Baldwin (voice). Screenplay: Wes Anderson, Owen Wilson. Cinematography: Robert D. Yeoman. Production design: David Wasco. Film editing: Dylan Tichenor. Music: Mark Mothersbaugh.
It's hard to be droll for an hour and a half, and The Royal Tenenbaums, which runs about 20 minutes longer than that, shows the strain. Still, I don't have the feeling with it that I sometimes have with Wes Anderson's films, that of not being completely in on the joke. This time it's the wacky family joke, familiar from George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart's play You Can't Take It With You and numerous TV sitcoms. It works in large part because the cast plays it with such beautifully straight faces, and it's a magnificent cast. Gene Hackman, as the paterfamilias in absentia Royal Tenenbaum, is the standout, in large part because he gets to play loose while everyone else maintains a morose deadpan, but also because he's an actor who has always been cast as the loose cannon. Even in films in which he's supposed to be reserved and repressed, such as The Conversation (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974), he keeps you waiting for the inevitable moment when he snaps. Here he's loose from the beginning, but he doesn't tire you out with his volatility because he knows how much of it to keep in check at any given moment.

I don’t think you’re an asshole, Royal. I just think you’re kind of a son of a bitch.

Four minutes, forty-eight seconds. We're all dead. Burned to a crisp.
