Drive 4K Review
During the day he works as a stuntman in Hollywood, in the evening he is no less virtuoso delivering robbers to the banks of Los Angeles. He hardly sleeps, is alone, lives in furniture, where one day he meets a pretty neighbor, burdened by a child. A moment of weakness, a business that was not worth getting involved in, and the life of a silent racer, who never allowed himself to think about other people's problems, turns from a simple criminal thriller into a heroic epic.

Hugh Jackman was originally supposed to play the lead role.

The first contender for the director's chair was not Refn, but Neil Marshall.

The film won the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival.

Danish director Nicholas Winding Refn is today the main singer of uncompromising masculinity in European and now in American cinema: the hero of his Hollywood debut is so impeccable that it is impossible to believe in a happy ending from the very beginning - people like him do not live long: such in our world, which has long been devoid of the poles of absolute femininity and masculinity, does not exist in principle. The short-lived and decisive hero of Ryan Gosling, who is rapidly transforming into a big Hollywood star, seems to have come to us from the universe of Jean-Pierre Melville - a world where women are like the Sistine Madonnas, and men are laconic, decisive and are able to charge the enemy with a hammer in the forehead, without losing this person. The murders in "Drive" are generally furnished extremely beautifully - it is clear that Refn considers a beautiful death to be the crown of a real male biography: one of the heroes dies in the raging waves, being thrown there from a mountain highway, another, in the most tearful atmosphere, cuts the veins of his once best friend, the third textured stab with cutlery.

In the choreographic action movie Bronson, Refn showed how he can edit to music. In "Drive" this skill reaches frightening heights: wordless pieces scattered here and there throughout the film pierce the audience with a wide range of emotions from extreme enthusiasm to violent sobs - this is not only a high-octane action movie, but also an armor-piercing melodrama. Compared to the male, the female image has slightly blundered - Carey Mulligan plays a girl, along with flaws, devoid of properties: the purest charm, the purest example with a gangster husband, a child and a bunch of problems. But only for the sake of such an impeccable man and is able to go on a series of crimes, one another is more difficult. The young ladies of Refnu shouldn't succeed - he is not about that.

All Refn's films (Danish "Bandyugans" trilogy about drug dealers, Sundens thriller "Fear X" about a supermarket guard who lost his wife, English "Bronson" about a petty criminal who wants to become a big and successful in this already behind bars, "Valhalla" about Vikings cast down to hell) tell of a high standard of men who strive to fully meet their social function under circumstances that are not conducive to this as much as possible. Gosling's hero is an ideal racer, deprived of his dream job and forced to receive prizes outside the coveted track from producers who condescendingly thank him for another deadly stunt, or bank robbers who generously pay for another risky adventure. Or from the occasional crowd of applause - at the very beginning of the film, a hero getting out of a car with criminals who just robbed a bank finds himself in the hooting thick of a trade union meeting.

The devil knows what for the feat, the manliness spent on the wrong thing, the hero languishing idle - Refna's film is not only about this.
He says that there is no reason for a heroic deed at all, but this is not a reason not to be a hero.
