Empty-nesters and gangsters
Adam Gopnik reflects on his children leaving home... and why we ransack movies for metaphors to add glamour to our lives.
"There is nothing some of us enjoy more," writes Adam Gopnik, "than finding analogies to our own paltry and predictable lives in scenes from famous gangster movies."
As his children move away from home and he becomes an "empty nester", Adam finds himself, too, doing just that.
Producer: Adele Armstrong
