They kicked us out because they thought we were cheap… 12 Etudes, Op. 25, No. 3 in F major Written by Frederic Chopin Performed by Tzvi Erez. I saw this movie last week at the AFI Film Festival in Hollywood.
But I was so glad I saw it!
When I got to this movie, I was suffering from a bit of filming overload and I was talking to someone in the audience before the movie started, I almost forgot what I was going to watch! As you know from the list, Jesse Eisenberg wrote, directed and stars in this great movie about 2 cousins' trip to Poland to see the country of his beloved grandmother. Eisenberg plays the role he seems to be made for – a nervous, nervous and devoted family man who always wants to do the right thing. Eisenberg is joined by Kieran Culkin, who plays the opposite of Eisenberg—loud, outspoken, and willing to break the rules, much to Eisenberg’s chagrin. Culkin’s character easily befriends his fellow travelers and guide—again, much to Eisenberg’s surprise (and sometimes annoyance).
So I highly recommend seeing it ASAP
The story itself is very engaging, and you’ll want to join them on their journey. Culkin could be in the running for an Oscar, and Eisenberg could earn a nomination for writing and/or directing. From Alien: Romulus to Road House, take a look at some of our favorite 2024 posters.
