GOOD TIME

First selection for the two brothers of the New York indie cinema with a film of robbery brought by Robert Pattinson

The Story While the police are doing everything for the trap again, a bank robber, helped by his brother, does everything he can to avoid jail.

The Issues It was in Cannes, in the parallel section (The Fortnight of Directors) that the New York brothers, Josh and Ben Safdie, were first spotted. It was in 2008 with their indie film The Pleasure of Being Robbed, about a young bohemian woman around the streets of New York. They returned to the same place, one year later, with Lenny and the Kids, where one finds this same energy borrows of fantasy. After a passage by the Venice Film Festival in 2014 with Mad Love in New York, they finally compete. No doubt that the presence of a star or two in their universe has contributed to their unfurling of the red carpet. After his experiences with David Cronenberg and James Gray, the ex-vampire Robert Pattinson continues his road towards auteur cinema. He will be accompanied by Jennifer Jason Leigh. This film, of which a large part of the plot takes place in prison, was shot in a real penitentiary in Queens with actors who, for the most part, made a passage behind the bar.
