Gene Hackman, a versatile actor who graced the screen for nearly 50 years, captivated audiences across diverse genres. From iconic roles in films like Superman and Crimson Tide to his Oscar-winning performances in The French Connection and Unforgiven, his legacy is undeniable. We invite you to celebrate his remarkable career with a screening of Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums.

Hackman delivers a compelling performance as Royal Tenenbaum, the estranged patriarch of a once-extraordinary family. He and his wife, Etheline (Anjelica Huston), raised three prodigies: Chas (Ben Stiller), a precocious real estate mogul; Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow), a gifted playwright; and Richie (Luke Wilson), a tennis champion. However, two decades of betrayal and disappointment have eclipsed their early brilliance. The Royal Tenenbaums, with its distinctive visual style and poignant humor, is a captivating exploration of melancholy and the possibility of redemption.

Estimated runtime: 109 min. 2001. Rated R.
