Little White Lies 82: The Uncut Gem Issue
An unexpected icon to grace issue 82 of Little White Lies
We never in a million years thought that Adam Sandler would grace the cover of Little White Lies, and yet here we are. Issue 82 is inspired by (and in thrall of) the new film by the Safdie brothers – Uncut Gems – in which Sandler plays a ducking-and-diving New York jeweller whose intense gambling addiction causes a fair few problems in his eventful life. In this issue we speak to the Safdies about their biggest (and best) project yet, explore Sandler's work as a modern contract movie star, look at some other American stand-ups who have made the leap to the silver screen, and offer a potted history of Jewish representation in cinema.
