I drive

Adapted from the novel of the same name. The Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn, who became famous with the trilogy of "Run at the End", reached the pinnacle of his career with this film and won the title of Best Director in Cannes in one fell swoop.
In fact, this film is a Hollywood quasi-B film dressed in a deep and cold Nordic coat. In order to protect his sweetheart, an infatuated guy would end up with the gang, which would be considered vulgar even 20 years ago. But the film critics praised the director's control of rhythm and style, and he just produced a refreshing effect. Perhaps, various types of fusion are the key to the success of this film: the actor always poses before talking, a lot of empty shots and no-line shots, which are deeply imprinted by the art film; the help of the sword is getting deeper and deeper, and the guard is silently guarded. Reluctant to leave, but also has the taste of film noir; you can see the shadow of western movies without leaving your name, being vigorous, quick-acting, and rushing to Longtan alone; while headshots and squirting blood are the director's violent aesthetics. cult film.
Ryan Gosling replaces Hugh Jackman as this grassroots hero who likes to dangling toothpicks, can not blink for a long time, and does not change clothes all the year round. Sometimes he is shy, sometimes tender, sometimes cold and gloomy, sometimes fatal with one blow. He hopes to become a Cage. His successor (especially that long face). Interestingly, it is said that the director of the film was also recommended by him to the producer. It seems that he has a good relationship with Nicolas.

    The film was supported entirely by the skill of the director. The processing of many pictures and scenes is great.

    Crossed! It's completely the style of Hong Kong movies in the 80s
