Safdie Brothers' Early Work 'Heaven Knows What' to be Released in Korea on October 14

According to media reports, 'Heaven Knows What', an early work that pierces through the cinematic world of brothers Josh Safdie and Benny Safdie, has confirmed its release for October 14. This work is evaluated as the film where the Safdie brothers' unique directorial style, which later led to 'Good Time' and 'Uncut Gems', was first established.

The film was produced based on the life of Arielle Holmes, who experienced actual homelessness in New York. The Safdie brothers reconstructed the story based on Arielle Holmes' real-life experiences and cast Arielle Holmes, rather than a professional actor, directly as the protagonist Harley to enhance the sense of realism. Caleb Landry Jones played the role of Ilya, Harley's lover, acting alongside her.

The poster released along with the news of the release features a close-up of the protagonist Harley's face, bringing the character's emotions to the forefront. The trailer captures the figures wandering the streets of New York against a backdrop of hardstyle electronic music, foreshadowing the film's characteristic raw atmosphere.

Produced in 2014, this film shows the starting point of the Safdie brothers' works by utilizing filming techniques that closely follow street figures and using raw digital imagery. Meanwhile, Josh Safdie is continuing active film activities, such as recently presenting 'Marty Supreme'.
