The hairy tale, starring an unrecognizable Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough and featuring no human language, hits theaters April 19.
Beta male Jesse Eisenberg and Christoph Zajac-Denek, a stunt pro, play mythical creatures in "Sasquatch Sunset." “Sasquatch Sunset” is perhaps the weirdest R-rated family movie you’ll ever see. The art-house film from brother-directors David and Nathan Zellner plays like a nature documentary for stoners who go to midnight screenings.
What you may not have heard, though, is that it’s a very funny and surprisingly moving look at an endangered species from their point of view as humanity encroaches. When I saw it at Sundance, audience members were falling out of their seats laughing and ran out of the theater yelping like sasquatches. This is a movie that, if nothing else, demands to be seen, at least so you can know where you stand on the love-hate divide.
Eisenberg, on the other hand, says he was “pissed off,” having been in plenty of violent movies that probably deserved an R but squeaked by without one. “It’s just frustrating because it limits the audience,” he says. “I really do think that the 13-year-old Jesse would have flipped for a movie like this. Young teenagers are just way more open, in my opinion.
