SYNOPSIS

Based on the true childhood experience of director Noah Baumbach and his brother, this quirky, offbeat and hilarious black comedy illustrates the real life struggles of a family splintered by divorce. The Squid and The Whale tells the story of the patriarch of an eccentric Brooklyn family who once had been a great novelist but has settled into a teaching job. When his wife discovers a writing talent of her own, jealousy and bitterness divides the family, leaving two teenage sons to forge new relationships with their parents.
