If you loved De Palma, try The Squid and the Whale

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Noah Baumbach. If that's the register that drew you to De Palma, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Squid and the Whale is

Brooklyn, 1980s, vinyl records spinning. A dysfunctional family splits, two young boys caught between warring parents, a giant squid poster looming. Baumbach revisits his own childhood.
