A beginner’s guide to the Safdie brothers

[@seanwjones07]

Just recently watched Good Time and Uncut Gems. These guys are the next big thing!

[@vanshikha7179]

Their movies always keeps you at the edge of your seat and you want it all to go away and everything to be all right.

[@jayshiggs]

Uncut Gems brought me here. Favorite movie in recent memory.

[@RealDirectorDru]

Same. Favorite 2019 movie.

[@FAITHFULQRX]

That movie was ass

[@GellertTV]

@@FAITHFULQRX Well, that's, like, your...Opinion, man.

I preferred good time but loved uncut gems too

[@adolfobermudez1487]

Idk why I’m here I’ve seen every interview and movie of this guys

[@Smithsonian88]

Same

[@manuelwardrobe]

You know where can I see some of their films?

[@Indietrix]

manuel Good Time is on Netflix in the UK, Daddy Longlegs, The Pleasure of Being Robbed and Heaven Knows What are on Amazon Prime

[@owengraziano7288]

Good to know I’m not the only person who’s obsessed with these guys.

[@JH0207]

@@manuelwardrobe Good Time is free on Prime

Good Time brought me here. Only watched it last night. F**kin' incredible!

[@amp4105]

uncut gems and good time are so good

[@StereoChimps]

havent seen any movie so intense like theirs, and so real at the same time with that independente film look, one of my favorites directors of the time right now, !!!

[@frogonaut5586]

Had no expectations on Uncut Gems going in, but it has become one of my favorite movies. It's brilliant.

[@observer4916]

I fucking love the Saftie brothers. Their films are masterpieces of filmmaking yet at the same time are incredibly relatable and down-to-Earth.

[@elguapo3811]

Where are the synths bro? Where are the goddamn synths? Do you even synth bro?

[@baulzzzzzzz2278]

Really need to see heaven knows what, after good time safdie brothers have earned everything they get they’re geniuses

[@bulldogfront666]

Heaven knows what is incredible. As an ex heroin addict that lived in a big city at the time its the most accurate portrayal of not only the lifestyle that addiction demands but perfectly encapsulates the emotions and despair of it all. Not to mention the way the actors portray the characters was so accurate I could’ve sworn I’d met those exact people before on the streets.

[@Indietrix]

Forrest Richard it’s such a good movie. It’s based off an unpublished memoir by the lead actor, Arielle Holmes; it all comes from lived experience and that very much shows. Glad you found it accurate too.

[@mthw7046]

Amazing movie.

[@sophiaargana5190]

Underrated channel. This needs more views!

[@PSTV999]

Something about the Safdies gets the best out of actors. Robert Pattinson and Adam Sandler both arguably gave their career best performances in their respective movies

[@wdt56film]

You saw the lighthouse right

[@PSTV999]

Bart Simpson yeah I’ve seen it, that’s why I said arguably

[@violinsinthevoid4579]

Entered their works as a Daniel Lopatin fan.... now I’m a Safdie brothers fan too!

[@szymonsobota2203]

Fun fact: One of the producers of "Daddy Longlegs" is Casey Neistat.

[@nathanpittman3023]

They actually aren’t doing 48 Hrs anymore! They mentioned that on rewatchables podcast recently

[@nathanpittman3023]

Amazing video btw!!

[@jacc8178]

@@nathanpittman3023 i heard they still might work on the script though

[@nathanpittman3023]

jacc ooooh nice exciting Love safdies with all my heart and 48 hrs is arguably the quintessential buddy cop movie

[@CA-rg2wv]

Glad to hear. I love their original films and would like them to stick to making their own scripts.

[@IAmNMFlores]

CJ 10 they’re turning their 48 hrs script into something new i heard

[@SixXGaming]

I hadn't known of the Safdie bros when I made my first short feature, Dead Poet. I share a lot of stylistic devices with them and its scary.

[@dennydarkko]

I started with uncut gems, thought it was genius, heard about Good Time, even more genius, now I like these guys, hence me being here. 😂

[@ObieR]

Excellent breakdown!

[@davidrogelioperez2897]

That opening is amazing! I love it.

[@gabrielidusogie9189]

How did you get good at figuring out auteur styles? I got some of the stuff but I missed so much. I'm trying to teach myself filmmaking and film analysis and I feel like I miss so much and that I'm not learning anything right.

[@ThinkingArtEntertainment]

Just watch and study movies by a single director repeatedly. Look for common threads. Filmmakers usually teach themselves a "language", if you will, that they stick to throughout their filmography.

[@Indietrix]

Thinking Art Entertainment that’s basically it. When making these vids I make notes while watching and keep an eye out for stuff that recurs. I watched these in chronological order and I realised the focus on absurdity was going to be a big thing within five minutes, so noted it down and kept an eye out! BUT- there’s no right way to watch a film. Work out what interests you and follow that. Some people are mad for actors (I’ll watch anything with Vincent Price), some follow genres (I love giallo; Royal Ocean Film Society did a great vid on the beach party genre). Find your own vibe and don’t be hard on yourself!

[@gabrielidusogie9189]

@@Indietrix thanks man. I want to start making video essays on themes and storytelling in films. This helps.

[@Indietrix]

Gabriel Idusogie good luck mate, have fun with it!

[@SYMShutYoMouth]

This is a really cool video. Great job!

[@gethaunted]

please make more of these!

[@fistofflowers.]

I thought good time was directed by Nicolas Winding Refn but I’m happy to learn that there’re directors with his style, kinda.

[@Shashankulakarni]

That pink smoke reminded me of kurosawa 's high and low.

[@paulfienga9466]

These guys are gonna become Nolan , Spielberg level.

[@snoopybollox1485]

These guys do sum serious hard hitting shit...in 'Good Time' the end scene where Nick finally realises he's now stuck in retard hell and there is no escape is simply haunting....

[@bakedizzle24]

i am firm believer that good time is the best movie ever made, it was easily good enough to launch their careers into superstardom, it only lacked a highly recognizable actor without a stigma like pattinson being the dude from twilight

[@charliebetcher]

cyberjunk i think good time was great for pattinsons acting career, distanced him from the twilight bullshit

[@owengraziano7288]

Completely agreed

[@mantis_toboggan_md]

Did you watch Uncut Gems though?

[@charliebetcher]

Adrian G. i havent been able to. it hasnt come out in australia yet :/

[@IamtheDesperado]

It's a masterpiece forsure

[@b0otyeetr20]

[@AlexA-qc9os]

Safdie brothers and Margot robbie that’s something i would fucking love

[@AaroNinjaJones195]

I watched good time and uncut gems only a few days ago, fuck these guys are talented. I can't wait for their next movie.

[@genomantequilla8394]

Anyone recommend me any film like uncut gems or Good time? I love the anxiety that this films generate in me as spectator

[@yodihoo]

I have a love hate relationship with Uncut Gems I admire the Safdie brothers style of filmmaking and cleverly written characters, but my god was I miserable watching movie. Had to run to the bathroom just to breath for a minute, it’s such a stressful fucking movie I ended up leaving the theater feeling nauseous.

[@AIDAN-gr3hy]

Good shit

[@Sneaky_freek]

These guys sure know how to induce anxiety

[@skylerpike9538]

Their movie Good Time was not the beautiful piece of cinema I was expecting to find at 3 am tripping balls. I'm glad I did

[@TRISTANLOFTINCHANNEL]

It sucks they aren’t working on the 48 hours remake anymore

[@Imalrightma]

Uncut Gems is an absolute beauty of a film

Yo is Will from IndietrixFilms narrating this? Nice.

[@Indietrix]

oh heeeyyyyyy!

[@TonyTony..]

Yes .my two cents

[@housbok6420]

I find that the form and the rhythm are very good but unfortunately there is more description than analysis in your videos....

Move aside Coens

[@ankittikariha7419]

They are gems but not uncut.....

[@Zecamilleo]

So their next project is a remake of a buddy cop from the 80'? that's sad, they have so much potential, i wanna see more original stories from them, not producer/box office corporate movies. whats next do a marvel movie?

[@aliatef7203]

They're off the project thankfully

[@conorhoney7776]

Thanks for spoiling the heroin movie completely

[@psycheevolved1428]

Uncut gems was absolutely garbage imo. Acting was terrible from everyone, camera man was terrible, story was poor and I couldn't even make it to the end. Good time was brilliant with fantastic acting and story. This film and the lighthouse really made me appreciate pattinson. Safe to say I'm on the fence with safdie brothers lol.

[@undericesinger]

It's like the Critics told us to LOVE IT so everyone just loved Uncut Gems despite it not being amazing at all. Entertaining, YES! Ground-breaking NO lol

[@juhanainen]

I don't love the movie because of the critics, I just love it because it's a great film.

[@undericesinger]

@@juhanainen "I disagree..." Lol

[@juhanainen]

@@undericesinger I respect your opinion and the movie's not for everyone for sure. I just love it because of the intense feel it gives, the chaotic soundtrack, the "vaporwave" looking cinematography, and the performances. The plot is great too.

[@undericesinger]

@@juhanainen I see what it was TRYING to be, but I don't think they executed it as well as they thought. Their older films look like they were done better.

[@bardoomguy]

I cannot understand why Uncut Gems is getting any praise. It does almost everything wrong. One of the worst film experiences of my life

[@horsthofstede]

Heaven knows what is my favourite movie but uncut gems sucked so hard apart from the music and direction... was just adam sandler having a 2 hr breakdown
