This is Count Olaf ( Jim Carrey), who lives in a Gothic mansion so creepy his interior decorator must have been Nosferatu. Poe takes them to live with their "closest relative," a fourth cousin three times removed or perhaps it's the other way around. Violet is beautiful, Klaus is intense, and they are immediately beset with life-threatening difficulties. The Baudelaire children are Violet ( Emily Browning), Klaus ( Liam Aiken) and the infant Sunny (Kara and Shelby Hoffman), who possesses only two teeth but such a firm bite that she can hang in mid-air from the edge of a table for minutes on end, an occupation she finds amusing. The only thing standing in the way of this theory is that Charles left no descendants. Perhaps tragedy is in the family tree I assume they are descended from the French poet Charles Baudelaire, whose poems about sex and death "became a by-word for unwholesomeness," according to. I would say they take it too well, except that demonstrations of grief are not helpful in macabre comedies, where there is so much to grieve about that there would be no end to it.
The children seem to take this news rather well.
