Welcome to The Criterion Connection, a podcast about The Criterion Collection. On this episode, McKenzie (she/her) & Ian (they/them) start their first mini-series event covering Wes Anderson's BAD DAD TRILOGY [THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS, THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU, & THE DARJEELING LIMITED].
They kick off this event with McKenzie's partner and Tenenbaums fan, Rachel (she/they), discussing Wes' breakout film: THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS (2001). We don't nearly cover it all but we do discuss the intricacies of the director's plotting, how his themes truly do come from within, and the tender & thought provoking themes that run through the film.
Special Thanks to Rachel - follow her on Letterboxd here.
