Benji Kaplan: Yeah. By the time it gets to the front, the train will be in the station and we’ll be home free. David Kaplan: That’s so damn stupid. The tickets are probably about twelve bucks. Benji Kaplan: That’s the principle of it. 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. They kicked us out because they thought we were cheap. Featured on CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode No. 46.44 (2024). 12 Studies, Op. 25, No. 3 in F majorWritten by Frederic ChopinPerformed by Tzvi Erez. Jesse Eisenberg’s second effort as a writer-director sets out to be something unconventional. There’s something of Richard Linklater’s BEFORE trilogy in the DNA of A REAL PAIN, with some recognizable inheritance from Michael Winterbottom’s TRIP series as well. The ambulatory pace, the languid cinematography that asks you to look beneath the surface of the tourist attractions, the dialogue that meanders through an unpretentious, unstructured examination of the meaning of life, the total absence of “bad guys,” the almost total absence of any overt conflict, the slightest hint of any plot-driving goal other than completing a simple itinerary… A Real Pain shares all these realist qualities with those earlier, livelier, life-affirming films. And yet somehow… it doesn’t quite work. I’m not sure why I’ve never warmed to this movie. I think a big part of it has to do with all the supporting characters (that is, everyone except the cousins played by Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin). Will Sharpe’s non-Jewish tour guide, the Rwandan convert, the old couple, the sexy divorcee… the characters are all very basic, very conventional, very boring. The actors who play them are fine, but they don’t have much to do, and so they seem unnatural and lifeless, more like set decorations than people. Eisenberg knows how to direct a camera, I think; he knows how to execute the proper cinematic elements. But maybe he doesn’t know how to direct actors, or maybe he just doesn’t know how to write characters. There’s never anything to suggest that these people exist beyond the moments we see them, which perhaps could have been solved with a little more spontaneous improvisation from the actors. Eisenberg and especially Culkin are better in this regard, yet there is still something rather contrived and “scripted” about a lot of what they say and do. Eisenberg’s “workaholic salesman with OCD” is largely one-dimensional, and the few times his character expands beyond that facade feel more like forced acting than any kind of genuine glimpse into something deeper. Culkin is wonderful – perhaps a taste of his Succession character if Roman Roy actually cared about people – but I think that’s just a credit to Culkin’s talent; he somehow manages to transcend what he’s given to work with. This is a decent indie film with a few good laughs, a couple of interesting ideas, a memorable tour of Poland, and a solid performance from Culkin.
