Brief Interviews With Hideous Men News

John Krasinski,The Office,The Sundance Film Festival

IF at first you don't succeed, try directing again

It’s a common misconception that A Quiet Place was John Krasinski ’s directorial debut. The critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic thriller was actually his third film as a director , following two previous two outings in the indie world—the ensemble family drama The Hollars , and his actual debut, an adaptation of David Foster Wallace ’s short story collection Brief Interviews With Hideous Men . If you’ve never seen it, or even heard of it, that’s no surprise.

The mystique of those missing questions is diminished slightly by introducing us to the interviewer, but it’s not like Sara gets much characterization anyway. She’s more of a narrative device than a complete person. She’s working on a research project about men, but also trying to work through a recent break-up after discovering her boyfriend cheated on her. She gets more screen time than any other character, yet by the end of the film we know less about her than any of her subjects.
