The Myth of Fingerprints is a 1997 American film drama written and directed by Bart Freundlich and stars his real-life wife Julianne Moore.
The film is named after track 11, "All Around the World or the Myth of the Fingerprints" on Paul Simon's Graceland album, released in August 1986. Simon's song is concerned with dispelling the "myth" that people are different the world over: "I've seen them all, and, man, / They're all the same."
When a New England dysfunctional family gathers for Thanksgiving, past demons reveal themselves as one son returns for the first time in three years.
Set in New England, the film was shot in Andover and Bethel, Maine.
