Scan of #GoodTime article in Cahiers du Cinema @cahierscinema
Josh and Benny Safdie finished putting together Good Time , based on a script by Josh Safdie and Ronald Bronstein, like their previous film Mad Love in New York. A « fraternal love film » about two brothers on the run played by Ben Safdie and… Robert Pattinson. Josh Safdie (left) chose to send us this image where we can see his brother Benny (right) beaten up…
We returned to a real Queens prison, with friends that have criminal records, and with friends of those friends, some of whom got out of prison just a few weeks before filming started. ¡It was crazy, some sort of Stanford experience but a whole more twisted! We got former prison guards to play the guards. In fact, we have recreated in detail Rikers Island (the biggest Nueva York prison, ndlr)… This gave off a bizarre, threatening energy. This picture was taken on set, next to a « three star » general of the Bloods gang (one of the most famous american gangs). A charismatic and gentle guy called Jerome.
