Jesse Eisenberg Opens Up About ‘A Real Pain’
Filmmaker and actor Jesse Eisenberg talks to Deadline about the meaning behind 'A Real Pain'
If you can believe it, writer-director and star Jesse Eisenberg never meant to hurt you while watching his latest dark comedy, A Real Pain. Centered around two cousins, David (Eisenberg), a buttoned-up online ads salesman, and Benji ( Kieran Culkin), a drifter who suffers from great passion and listlessness as they travel to Poland to join Holocaust tour after the death of their beloved grandmother with her childhood home as their final stop. And Benji starts yelling at James, the tour guide, for being too academic when he should be talking about the people underground, not just the history and not just the dates and the years.
