Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play Based on the true childhood experiences of Noah Baumbach and his brother The Squid and the Whale tells the touching story of two young boys dealing with their parents&39; divorce in Brooklyn in the 1980s In his third feature director Noah Baumbach scores a triumph with an autobiographical coming-of-age story about a teenager whose writer-parents are divorcing The father (Jeff Daniels) and mother (Laura Linney) duke it out in half-civilized half-savage fashion while their two sons adapt in different ways shifting allegiances between parents The film is squirmy-funny and nakedly honest about the rationalizations and compensatory snobbisms of artistic failure as well as the conflicted desires of adolescents for sex and status In detailing bohemian-bourgeois life in brownstone Brooklyn Baumbach is spot on Everyone proceeds from good intentions and acts rather badly in spite or because of their manifest intelligence Fulfilling the best traditions of the American independent film this quirky wisely written feature explores the gulf between sexes generations art and commerce Brooklyn and Manhattan
