โœฆ Synopsis


DRIVE IS PREVIEWING AT CANNES FILM FESTIVAL MAY 2011

The action film Drive , based on James Sallis' book of the same name, has a provisional release date of 16th September in the USA, 23rd September in the UK. Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, (cult director of Bronson, Pusher etc.), starring Ryan Gosling, with Bryan Cranston, Carey Mulligan (An Education) and Christina Hendricks (Mad Men), it is eagerly anticipated as Refn's breakthrough movie into the Hollywood big time.

Set mostly in Arizona and L.A., Drive is about a guy who does stunt driving for movies by day and drives for criminals at night. Sallis combines murder, treachery, and payback in a sinister plot with resonances of 1940s pulp fiction and film noir. Told through a cinematic narrative that weaves back and forth through time and place, the story explores Driver 's near-existential moral foundations, intercut with moments of bloody violence.

Much later, as he sat with his back against an inside wall of a Motel 6 just north of Phoenix, watching the pool of blood lap toward him, Driver would wonder whether he had made a terrible mistake. Later still, of course, there'd be no doubt. But for now Driver is, as they say, in the moment. And th
