A movie stunt driver by day, and a getaway driver by night, Ryan Gosling's nameless Driver lives behind the wheel. But after falling for his next-door neighbor Irene and agreeing to help her ex-convict husband with one final job to pay off his debts and keep Irene safe, Driver is pulled into the dark criminal underworld of LA. Danish director Nicholas Winding Refn punctuates the film's long stretches of silence and rising tensions with sudden bursts of graphic violence, which when combined with his stylish imagery and an 80's synth-pop soundtrack, adds up to one exhilarating ride. "Low-key, sleek and sophisticated, Drive provides the visceral pleasures of pulp without sacrificing art." (Washington Post) more at drive-movie.com/ 35mm 'Scope
