God Knows

Park benches, bar toilets, empty house ruins, the streets of New York are Harley's home; as long as a pack of white powder, a syringe, and an injection, Harley can go to heaven. The appearance of Ilya brings a scorching light to her hopeless drug life. However, the bloody and suffocating love and the endless demand for drugs consume the world of the two of them, as if they are rushing towards a cliff and falling hard to the ground. Love and pain come from the same source, there is no ambiguity. In this destructive life, only drugs can prove its existence. Adapted from the true story of heroine Ariel Holmes, the directors Safdie Brothers met her homeless on the street and were deeply attracted by her dramatic life, so they set out to create this film full of underground color and drug culture. Using documentary-like realistic techniques, classical music and psychedelic electronic music collide to create a cruel and realistic presentation of a fatal love. The camera leaves no room for breathing from beginning to end, and is hailed by Indiewire as the best film of this kind since the psychedelic classic "Requiem for a Dream."
