Cinephilic Ramblings

“Drive” is a true triumphant of style over substance and I don’t mean that as a slight. By combining elements of Walter Hill’s, “The Driver,” and other minimal 1970s films and infusing them with an even greater sense of European style, Refn delivers a movie that feels both familiar and contemporary. While it never tops the incredible opening scene and credit sequence, Refn crafts a mood and a world that is both extremely attractive and eerily haunting. This song has been in my head all day.
