This one's for our sick compatriot: Chromatose
The Squid and the Whale
Bill Murray
Laura Linney
John Turtorro
The patriarch (Bill Murray) of an eccentric Brooklyn family claims to once have been a great novelist, but he has settled into a teaching job. When his wife (Laura Linney) discovers a writing talent of her own, jealousy divides the family, leaving two teenage sons to forge new relationships with their parents. Linney's character begins dating her younger son's tennis coach (John Turturro). Meanwhile, Murray's character has an affair with the student his older son is pursuing.
Okay, there's no real squid, I'm sorry, but does Bill Murray make up for it?
