drive

its been a while since a movie got me interested enough to find out more about who made it. drive is one of those movies. from a relatively unknown Danish director Nicholas Refn, it is wonderfully atmospheric, well acted, stylish and engaging. a simple story with a minimalist approach to dialog. the opening sequence is what i’m dubbing a “cerebral car chase” and sets the tone for the rest of the movie. the electro-synth-pop soundtrack works perfectly too. highly recommended.
