The Graduate
Synopsis
A disillusioned college graduate finds himself torn between his older lover and her daughter.
Cinematic DNA
I had seen The Graduate many times before, but on that rewatch, it really clicked for me how much it’s about the dissolution of a marriage. It’s also about the beginning of a marriage, but it’s about the whole cycle of this family breaking apart.
