A Real Pain + ScreenTalk with Jesse Eisenberg (15)

ScreenTalk

Actor and director Jesse Eisenberg will join us live on stage after the film to discuss his much acclaimed and awards nominated touching comedy drama.

Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) and Kieran Culkin (Succession) are mismatched Jewish American cousins who travel to Europe in an attempt to honour the memory of their late grandmother and reconnect with their heritage. Culkin delivers a hilarious performance (he recently won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor), while Eisenberg also wrote and directed the film, in his directorial debut.

It's a comedy-drama that skilfully combines humour and warmth with a nuanced and sometimes painful exploration of family history, love and loss. The cast also includes Will Sharpe (The White Lotus) and Jennifer Grey (Dirty Dancing).

Films can contain elements which some may find upsetting; from references to self-harm or suicide, to sexual violence or domestic abuse.
