Freelance film writer Jamie Arena joins to discuss Greg Mottola's debut indie feature 'The Daytrippers'. It's an endearing depiction of quotidian society in a New York not yet completely alienated from itself and a sweet postscript on the strength of siblinghood above all bonds.
We discuss the film's immaculate cast including a never-better Liev Schreiber and Anne Meara, Mottola's patented ability to imbue his scenes with a sense of pathos and hilarity at once, and why 'The Daytrippers' stands as both an outlier and a keystone in Mottola's career.
