Benny Safdie on The Curse | Episodes 4 & 5
Benny Safdie discusses episodes 4 & 5 of his new Showtime series The Curse, an NYFF61 Spotlight selection, with FLC Programmer Dan Sullivan. Learn more: www.filmlinc.org/series/the-c...
In this brilliantly discomfiting collaboration between Nathan Fielder (hot on the heels of his revelatory comic creation The Rehearsal) and Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems, NYFF57; Oppenheimer), Fielder and Emma Stone (La La Land; The Favourite, NYFF56) play Asher and Whitney Siegel, married entrepreneurs (don’t call them gentrifiers!) whose latest plan is to flip houses and convert them into eco-friendly homes for the struggling residents of Española, New Mexico-all for a home improvement-style reality show being overseen by an ingratiating producer (Safdie) with demons of his own. From this premise, which nimbly touches upon inescapable American issues of race, class, and capital, Fielder and Safdie branch out into an increasingly tangled network of ethical and moral gray zones, expertly balancing the tender and the merciless. Following the world premiere of episodes 1-3 at the 61st New York Film Festival, Film at Lincoln Center is pleased to present the remaining seven episodes from this genre-defying, riotously funny series, directed by Fielder and David and Nathan Zellner. An A24/Showtime release.

"There's no last question here. I'm gonna exhaust all of you." Love his generosity with the questions. Helps that he loves talking and being funny, especially for a show like this.
Best show of all time. Seriously it’s the funniest, the most intense so well written, honestly so truthful you can’t look away.
The show is a masterpiece. Great work
Fascinating series. I'm not even sure I like it, yet it's compulsive viewing.

It is like watching a car crash in slow motion and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible.

I hope you got to finish it. Unhinged.
The Curse is some of the best TV I’ve seen in a while. It’s hiiiigh above the rest
I love Benny! He could talk all night & I would listen intently
I just love how he genuinely cherishes talking about his (their) work.
Are there any recordings of episode 1-4?
he is such a gem
❤the curse is literally figuratively the best show of current rhymes
its a masterpiece
This show is so Dark its really good
Incredible insight !! Love Benny
Great interview -- So interesting to listen to Benny's thoughts that went into creating this project. Maybe I am just caught up in how cool and different The Curse is, but I am now convinced that Benny and Nathan are genius creatives. And every new interview I hear them speak at just cements my opinion further. Thanks to Benny for sharing his ideas.
i really like this guy.
This show simultaneously has nothing and so much going on at the same time depending on the viewer.
Dougie !
I curse you, Benny Safdie.
