I offer yet another parallel that could be explored similarly: tennis as metaphor, or at least as narrative element, in The Royal Tenenbaums and Squid and the Whale.

Whether their characters are writers (as they frequently are for both filmmakers) or musicians, or sportsmen, or poultry thieves, Anderson and Baumbach seem interested in their sort of privileged separateness from the world, and its implications.

As for the respective gentleness and savagery with which Anderson and Baumbach question the basis and justification for their characters' sensitivity, I'm quite sure I don't care to search for motivation.
