Synopsis – What to Expect from “Spanking the Monkey”
Spanking the Monkey is a dark comedy-drama released in 1994. It follows the story of Raymond Aibelli, a bright and ambitious college student whose summer plans are disrupted when his mother is injured in a car accident and he is left to take care of her.
Raymond is forced to give up his summer internship and stay home to look after his mother, who is bedridden and in a lot of pain. Raymond’s father is away on business, so Raymond is left to take care of her on his own. As time passes, Raymond and his mother form an increasingly close bond, which begins to take on a strange and sometimes uncomfortable dynamic.
The film follows Raymond as he struggles to maintain his sanity in an increasingly claustrophobic environment, while also dealing with his own feelings of guilt and resentment. As Raymond’s relationship with his mother grows more intimate, he begins to feel a strange attraction towards her, which leads to some very awkward situations.
The film is a darkly comedic exploration of the complexities of family life and the struggle between responsibility and freedom. It is a powerful and often humorous look at the struggles of growing up and the power of family bonds.
