Next week will mark the third anniversary
of his
father's death at Daytona, and it's taken almost that
long for Junior to emerge from Senior's
shadow.
Photographer Camille Seaman grew up in the
shadow of New York City, but she learned the traditions
of the Shinnecock, her
father's people, a small fishing tribe based on eastern
Long Island.
From writer / director Noah Baumbach, The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) is the emotional and comic intergenerational tale
of adult siblings (Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, and Elizabeth Marvel) contending with the
long shadow their strong - willed
father (Dustin Hoffman) has cast over their lives.
More impressive, though, is the trio
of supporting performances from the women in Raymond's life: Anna Friel as the citric - sharp Jean, who puts up with too much for too
long; Tamsin Egerton as leggily stunning and intelligent model - cum - columnist Fiona Richmond, who puts up with even more for not so
long; and Imogen Poots, hiding in the
shadow of her own fringe as Debbie, who, the film asserts, was spoiled by her
father in the truest way possible — thus finding, amid all the daft interior design and humorous erotica, the story's tragic heart.
