As his debut film is released, Owen Kline talks about acting in The Squid and the Whale as a child, working with Josh and Benny Safdie, and why comedies have just as much depth as dramas ❤️
, the messy divorce of parents Joan and Bernard has a catastrophic effect on the family – a pack of intellectual types who live in a brownstone in the lush neighbourhood of Park Slope in Brooklyn, New York. The youngest child, 12-year-old Frank , develops bizarre habits; he begins drinking beer, becomes fascinated by his mother’s sexual escapades, and most unforgettably, starts to masturbate around school, smearing his semen across the spines of books in the library and on locker doors.
“The story of the movie was always this kid trapped in this hellscape which he doesn’t really know how to get out of,” says Kline over Zoom from his book-filled office in Queens, New York. “He’s in too deep … with all these kinds of strange figures.” Robert later works part-time at a comic book store and at the office of a public defender, where he meets Wallace – a former comic book colour separator, now a mentally unhinged criminal – who he becomes obsessed with.
