The Squid and the Whale

The official tie-in Shooting Script to this surprise hit, winner of the 2005 Sundance Film Festival Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award and Best Dramatic Director Award. Set in Brooklyn in 1986, The Squid and the Whale captures with extraordinary immediacy the inner workings of the Berkman family. This is a film that deftly presents the realities of a family in transition learning to redefine itself.
