TONIGHT is THE NIGHT Please join the TRF department this Friday, February 21st at 6:00 pm in Newhouse 3, Room 251 for Friday Night Flicks, a weekly event where TRF (and other!) students gather to watch movies they select! This week, we will be screening The Royal Tenenbaums (2001). The film was directed by Wes Anderson and was co-written by Owen Wilson. It stars Danny Glover, Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Bill Murray, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, and Owen Wilson. It follows the lives of three gifted siblings who experience great success in youth, and even greater disappointment and failure after their eccentric father leaves them in their adolescent years. An ironic and absurdist sense of humor pervades the film. Hackman won a Golden Globe for his performance. The screenplay was nominated for an Academy Award. In 2008, a poll taken by Empire ranked it as the 159th greatest film ever made. Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle was enthusiastic in praising the film as like no other, an epic, depressive comedy, with lots of ironic laughs and a humane and rather sad feeling at its core. This week’s film is hosted by TRF undergrad Ian Phillips
