What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

French New Wave: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), which they were tied to as influence: French New Wave ⇒ The Royal Tenenbaums (the host's read). Combines the emotionality and cutting style of French new wave with the rawness of 70s American cinema.

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), which they were tied to as influence: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler ⇒ The Royal Tenenbaums (the host's read). The vibe of that kid-runaway book imbues the first 40 minutes, including the narration and child-genius portraiture.
    “the whole vibe of that book is imbued in the 1st 40 minutes of this movie, most of the narration, most of the young Tenenbaum's portraiture of these 3 child geniuses.”
