Where was ‘A Real Pain’ Filmed? All the locations from Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin’s Polish Road Trip Movie

Revisited by Eisenberg years before writing the film, the home of Poland’s greatest composer became an important artistic influence even though it does not appear as a physical location in the movie. Returning to Chopin’s work to score the film, he found that the music gave the story a sophisticated, slightly ‘removed’ tone that shaped the entire mood of A Real Pain; during editing, he and the editor felt that placing Chopin pieces in the right moments revealed ‘the tone of the movie’, underscoring the house’s indirect but significant impact on the film’s atmosphere. - Phil de Semlyen
