This week Steve and Sean talk with David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano about their dark and hilarious film I Don’t Understand You, exploring a queer couple’s emotional and chaotic journey through adoption while navigating love, miscommunication, and cultural clash in Italy.
Hey Horror Fans!!!
This week we are joined by David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano, the filmmakers (and real life couple) behind I Don’t Understand You, a sharp and offbeat dark comedy about an American couple navigating the adoption process while on vacation in Italy. As tensions rise and misunderstandings multiply, the film explores what it means to stay connected when everything around you starts to fall apart...and turn murderous!!
We talk with David and Brian about drawing from their own journey toward parenthood, how they approached the story’s unique mix of humor and discomfort, and why they wanted to center a queer couple whose love isn’t in question. We also get into the pitch perfect performances from Nick Kroll and Andrew Rannells, the grounding warmth of Amanda Seyfried, and the joy of working with Italian legend Nunzia Schiano.
Funny, tense, tender, violent and totally original, this is a conversation you wont want to miss about love under pressure, identity abroad, and the messy beauty of trying to be understood sooo....
COME HANG OUT!!!
