This week, Ashby and Coco watch two excellent movies, D(e)ad and Sentimental Value, that explore the complex relationships between fathers and their adult daughters.
What do these two very different movies have in common?
A lot, it turns out! Get excited for themes like codependence! grief! sisterhood! and, of course, interior design (Ashby simply needs to talk about the houses, okay).
We adored these movies, and we hope you give them a watch. Sentimental Value is a Norwegian family drama written and directed by Joachim Trier. D(e)ad is a crowdfunded film written by and starring Isabella Roland, along with a bunch of her family members (her mom, Claudia Lonow, directs!).
We recorded this episode a few weeks ago, before we knew about the accessibility of D(e)ad, and we’re delighted that it is now available to rent/purchase on Apple, Amazon, and YouTube!
As always, all references we make in the episode can be found at syllabuspod.substack.com. Don’t forget to stay in the loop on Instagram @syllabusthepod.
