- In this episode of Modern Chromatic, James analyzes Wes Anderson's film THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS in black and white. Wes Anderson is well known for his superb use of color, but will the lack of it affect the comedy and will the iconic film hold up without the vibrant color palette Wes is so well known for?
Warning: Some of the subject matter in this analysis deals with self-mutilation and suicide. Viewer discretion is advised.
Starring Gene Hackman, Billy Murray, Anjelica Huston, Danny Glover, Ben Stiller, Gweneth Paltrow and Luke Wilson. Renowned filmmaker Wes Anderson's third film, The Royal Tenenbaums, is a masterfully crafted piece of cinema. Rated 68th on BBC's 100 Greatest Films of the 21st Century, The Royal Tenenbaums is considered a massive success netting Gene Hackman a Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay for Anderson and fellow screenwriter Owen Wilson.

Amazing analysis, I’ve seen this film about 17 000 times and you made me notice a few things I hadn’t! Thanks!
Jonathan Jourdenais cheers brother! A new perspective can make any film new and exciting again. Thank you for the kind words.
Amazing Analysis
Such a nice concept! :)
thank you for the kind words
bro , I want your help on a thesis about Anderson's film . It will be great if you give me some feed on
wonderful idea and good execution. I love that you picked a Wes Anderson film and The Royal Tenenbaums especially, it has always been such a colour-centric and visually heavy movie for me. Seeing what still is "left" in black and white was very compelling, also interesting to notice where the focus shifts to.
Also, re: that whole thing about suicide and re-birth ... I always found that the scene right after Richie is found on the bathroom floor and then after the cut they rush him into the hospital ... It somehow always reminded me of typical/cliche birth scenes (rushing into treatment, panic, breathing support, hopeful desperation) ...which picks that whole feeling of being born again by suicide just right up again.
Great job, I'll subscribe =)

Anra To thank you for the kind words. I love the observation of child birth and running down the hallway. I had never considered that. Very acute. That may have something to do with the comedy of that specific jump cut, the rush and urgency associated with childbirth. Every character has their respective re-birth. Unfortunately, I didn’t even touch on Ben’s character losing his wife, who I identify with. I guess I just identify with Richie more subconsciously. Thank you for the sub. Truly means a lot, especially, when it invokes conversation.
I think everyone can compare themselves with Richie’s character. I actually enjoy the meeting of Margot and Richie sooo much more with the black and white it makes the soundtrack stand out so much more to me!
Right!? It's as if taking away the color is like losing one of your senses. Your other senses are heightened.
next watch the film backwards or upside down
