David Kaplan: Yeah
Synopsis
Mismatched cousins reunite for a road trip across Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. The adventure picks up steam as the odd couple’s old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history. When Benji and David visit their grandmother’s house in Poland, the location is where Jesse Eisenberg;s real-life ancestors settled in the diaspora. Benji Kaplan: We stay mobile, we stay light, we stay agile. Benji Kaplan: The conductor will come through, taking our tickets, we tell him we’re going to the bathroom. David Kaplan: Bathroom. Benji Kaplan: He gets on the back of the train, he starts walking forward, looking for David Kaplan: Excuse me, are we stragglers?
Benji Kaplan: Yeah
By the time he gets to the front, the train will be in the station and we’ll be home free. David Kaplan: It’s so stupid. The tickets are probably like twelve dollars. Benji Kaplan: It’s the principle of the matter. We shouldn’t have to pay for train tickets in Poland. This is our country. David Kaplan: No, it’s not, it was our country.
I’ve always loved watching Jesse Eisenberg perform
They kicked us out because they thought we were cheap. Featured on CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode No. 46.44 (2024). 12 Etudes, Op. 25, No. 3 in F MajorWritten by Frederic ChopinPerformed by Tzvi Erez. He usually brings a frenetic nervousness and smart, fast-paced dialogue to his roles.
David is a high-powered billboard artist with a wife and child
Now he’s won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the Sundance Film Festival for the just-released film A REAL PAIN. Eisenberg produced, wrote and directed this "dramedy" a study of the relationship between estranged cousins David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin). Benji is a sensitive, highly emotionally aware man grieving the loss of his grandmother, with whom he was very close. They go on a trip to Poland together, tagging along with a Jewish history tour group, which obviously brings up a variety of difficult feelings. This is a beautiful film with fully developed characters that actually develop as they go along. It’s clear that they’re both going through something, as is everyone in this situation. The script is nicely paced with a perfect mix of emotional rhythm and comedy.
I hope awards season is all about REAL PAIN!
This is actually Eisenberg’s second film that he has written and directed, the first being WHEN YOU’RE FINISHED SAVING THE WORLD, which is now on my to-watch list. I knew Kieran Culkin was amazing when I saw SUCCESSION, and he’s even better in this. That being said, I can’t help but notice Eisenberg’s performance. In some ways, it’s harder to play an underrated role, which he does brilliantly. The film is about generational trauma, pain of all kinds, and the human condition. From Alien: Romulus to Road House, take a look back at some of our favorite posters of 2024.
