Der schwarze Diamant (2019)
5KDer schwarze Diamant: Directed by Benny Safdie, Josh Safdie. With Mesfin Lamengo, Sun Zhi Hua-Hilton, Liang Wei-Hui-Duncan, Sunny Wu Jin Zahao. With his debts mounting and angry collectors closing in, a fast-talking New York City jeweler risks everything in hope of staying afloat and alive.
“The Safdie brothers are a masterful dark comedy creating a film that happily has one rooting for the bad guy. Ratner is in more ways than one despicable cheat; but heu0026#39;s also someone who canu0026#39;t assist but love the crowd. As his different systems become more complicated, Ratneru0026#39;s hole digs deeper and deeper.With the ideal combination of arrogance and nervous insecurity, Sandler portrays Ratneru0026#39;s reckless descent. Heu0026#39;s the man who believes heu0026#39;s covered with all the corners ; but heu0026#39;s really hanging on by a lucky thread.The performance of Sandler fits completely into the natural and edgy filmmaking style of the Safdie brother. The siblings patiently build a narrative that is an unpleasant and riveting experience. The more turbulent the waters Ratner is swimming in, the more difficult it is for one to look away. In fact, Uncut Gems is a rare treasure, a thrilling and darkly funny film.”
