This week on Classic Movies Live!, trailer-sensation Speak No Evil!
Based on the 2022 Danish film of the same name, Speak No Evil follows an American family as they visit a British family they met at a resort. But the British family — featuring James McAvoy, Aisling Franciosi, and Dan Hough as a boy without a tongue — becomes increasingly pushy and uncomfortable to be around. At what point will the Americans say enough is enough and finally leave? And what could be McAvoy’s ultimate goal?
In this episode, our hosts break down the American version directed by James Watkins, the Danish version directed by Christian Tafdrup, and the idea of remakes in general. Which version is better? Maybe more interestingly: what’s actually the difference?
