A Real Pain
Funny and personal road movie in which two very different cousins tour Poland to honour their beloved grandmother. Old tensions surface. With Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin.
A Real Pain follows New York Jewish cousins David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (an impeccable Kieran Culkin) as they embark on a tour through Poland to honour their late grandmother, culminating in a visit to her home before she fled from World War II. The anxiety-ridden David prefers to stick to the rules, while Benji is a frayed live wire, spontaneous and charismatic, yet in deep pain. As they visit Holocaust memorial sites, including a concentration camp, the pair try to reconcile their relationship with each other and their family history. (source: Sundance Film Festival)
