The Royal Tenenbaums: Featuring Margot Tenenbaum

Tenenbaum



          This collage was inspired by the Wes Anderson film, The Royal Tenenbaums. More specifically, the character Margot Tenenbaum, portrayed by the lovely Gwyneth Paltrow. If you have not seen the film it is a fantastic story about this eccentric family of geniuses, and their abusrdist father (or in Margot's case, step-father). The film also stars Luke Wilson and Ben Stiller as the two other gifted siblings, along with Owen Wilson, Gene Hackman, Bill Murray, and Angelica Huston. Wes Anderson truly has the most interesting and captivating way of putting films together and portraying his stories (not to mention the always pleasant associated soundtrack and the enjoyable cast). I highly suggest viewing this film as soon as you possibly can, and of course any other Wes Anderson films you can get your desirous little hands on (i.e., Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Life Aquatic, The Darjeeling Limited).
          Back to Margot... she dons a honey-colored fur coat, black eyeliner, and a red barrette throughout the film  as she secretly sneaks cigarettes any chance she gets. The entire atmosphere that this film produces makes me so envious; I so much want to live in that insanely decorated house with an eccentric family like the Tenenbaums.
