SUNDANCE 2022 | Interview: "Speak No Evil" Interview with Director Christian Tafdrup

As part of our coverage of Sundance 2022, I had the opportunity to interview Christian Tafdrup, director of SPEAK NO EVIL. The film debuts at Sundance 2022 in the Midnight category on January 21st. This horror film is Christian Tafdrup's third feature film, with his first two being PARENTS and A HORRIBLE WOMAN.

In this interview, I speak with Christian about the film, it's themes, and how it compares to Christian's previous work.

On a vacation in Tuscany, a Danish family befriends a Dutch family. Months later the Danish couple receives an invitation to visit the Dutch and decide to go for the weekend. However, it doesn't take long before the joy of reunion is replaced by misunderstandings. Things gradually get out of hand, as the Dutch turn out to be something different than what they have pretended to be.
