It all seems straightforward enough at first glance: Royal Tenenbaum marries Etheline; they have two sons and adopt a daughter. Those kids grow up. Two get married, and one of them has children of his own. But simplicity has never been Wes Anderson’s style, and The Royal Tenenbaums tells the tragi-comic story of a remarkably complex family. So we’re sure the filmmaker would approve of this scrupulously annotated Tenenbaum family tree. [This Night Has Opened My Eyes via I Love Charts]
