Sundance favorite Sebastián Silva tells host Rico Gagliano about his self-described "misanthropic comedy" Rotting in the Sun—the satirical story of a happy hedonist and a not-so-happy filmmaker who end up in the middle of a Hitchcockian mystery.

Silva dishes on how he teamed up with superstar Instagrammer Jordan Firstman, the importance of self-mockery, and the film's already-infamous sex sequences featuring "all the dicks."
