First trailer for the Safdie brothers' sophomore feature.
Near the top of our 2017 list is Josh and Benny Safdie's directorial debut Heaven Knows What, which finally received a belated UK release, albeit straight to DVD. It seems we may also see their second feature later this year, as while a UK/ROI release has yet to be confirmed, the film's US distributor A24 has released a first trailer.
Like their debut, this is another gritty drama set on the streets of NYC, but this one boasts the likes of Robert Pattinson, Barkhad Abdi and Jennifer Jason Leigh in its cast.
The official synopsis reads:
After a botched bank robbery lands his younger brother in prison, Constantine “Connie” Nikas (Robert Pattinson) embarks on a twisted odyssey through the city’s underworld in an increasingly desperate — and dangerous — attempt to get his brother Nick (Benny Safdie) out of jail. Over the course of one adrenalized night, Connie finds himself racing against the clock to save his brother and himself, knowing both their lives hang in the balance.
