Der Tintenfisch und der Wal (2005)
Brooklyn, 1986. Nur auf den ersten Blick wirken die Berkmans wie eine intakte Familie. Vater und Patriarch Bernard war einst ein gefeierter Schriftsteller. Mittlerweile hat er aber zunehmend größere Schwierigkeiten, seine Romane veröffentlicht zu bekommen, was ihn mit seinem unerschütterlichen Ego jedoch nicht davon abhält, sich weiterhin allen anderen überlegen zu fühlen. Mutter Joan hat mit ihren literarischen Versuchen indes immer mehr Erfolg, ganz zu Bernards Missfallen. Ihre Söhne, der 16-jährige Walt und der 12-jährige Frank, bemerken von den wachsenden Spannungen nichts - und fallen aus allen Wolken, als ihnen ihre Eltern ihre Trennung bekannt geben und Bernard auszieht. Während er seine attraktive Studentin Lili als Untermieterin aufnimmt und Joan eine Affäre mit dem Tennislehrer Ivan beginnt, müssen die Jungen auf sich allein gestellt mit der neuen Situation fertig werden.
Der Regisseur: Noah Baumbach
