THE MEYEROWITZ STORIES (NEW & SELECTED) W/ LETTER FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
The Meyerowitz Stories (New & Selected) is a critically acclaimed film that explores the complexities of familial relationships and the impact of art on those connections. Directed by Noah Baumbach, this film intricately weaves together the lives of its characters, presenting a poignant narrative that delves deep into the psyche of a family facing their shared past.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of New York City, the story revolves around an estranged family who comes together for a significant event: a celebration of the artistic achievements of their father, Harold Meyerowitz, played masterfully by Dustin Hoffman. Harold is a sculptor whose work, though impactful, has often been overshadowed by that of his contemporaries.
The gathering serves as a catalyst for surprising revelations and confrontations, unearthing long-buried grievances among the siblings: Daniel, Jean, and Matthew. Each character brings their unique perspective to the family dynamic, revealing the complexities of love, rivalry, and the quest for parental approval.
Daniel, portrayed by Adam Sandler, is grappling with his own failures and his role as the black sheep of the family. His struggles with self-worth and his relationships are poignantly depicted through moments of both humor and heartbreak.
Jean, played by Grace Van Patten, embodies the search for identity and acceptance amidst familial chaos. Her character’s journey highlights the challenges of carving out one’s place within a legacy marked by artistic aspirations.
Matthew, portrayed by Ben Stiller, represents the more successful sibling, yet his achievements come with their own set of complications, fueling tensions that resonate throughout the narrative.
The film artfully balances its exploration of familial bonds with a commentary on the nature of art itself. As the characters navigate their relationships, The Meyerowitz Stories examines the ways in which art can both bring people together and drive them apart. The event commemorating Harold's work acts as a stage for the unfolding drama, revealing how artistry becomes intertwined with personal histories and unresolved conflicts.
Baumbach's direction is complemented by a talented supporting cast, including Emma Thompson and Sigourney Weaver, who enrich the narrative with their portrayals of characters that intersect with the Meyerowitz family's life. Together, they help to create a world that feels both specific to the Meyerowitz family and universally relatable, making the film a touching exploration of the dysfunctional yet enduring ties that bind families together.
In conclusion, The Meyerowitz Stories (New & Selected) is not just a story about an artist and his children; it’s a profound reflection on the legacy of creativity, the struggles of personal relationships, and the intricate dance of familial love and disappointment. Audiences are invited to reflect on their own familial experiences, making it a compelling watch for anyone interested in the interplay between art and life.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
