The directors Josh and Benny Safdie were do-it-yourself visionaries for years, finding ingenious ways to make little movies seem big. For “Heaven Knows What,” the brothers’ grim 2014 film, they shot outside during a brutally cold winter, from a distance, so as not to alert the authorities that they hadn’t secured permits. On the set of “Uncut Gems,” their new movie starring Adam Sandler, their low-profile days were over. “This is very new—this whole experience,” Benny said. At the link in our bio, read more about the Safdie brothers’ philosophy on movies (“the most perverted art form”) and their love for Howard, the incorrigible protagonist in “Uncut Gems.” Photograph courtesy A24.
