I honestly think that each new entry in Pusher trilogy was better than the previous, meaning that the third one is absolute best. Its a miracle how Refn achieved it, especially with changing protagonists each time. I didnt even like Milo is first two, but he was phenomenal in 3rd.
I love the rawness and documentary style of the first one, but each one is great. The third one being by far the grossest, but the movie actually manages to make the bad guy of part one a compelling main character in part three.
I love the Pusher Trilogy so much, each film is incredible in its' own way. Every once in a while I take an evening and binge all three. But the third just hits different, and I mean that in the best way possible. It takes Milo, a man that the last two films have built up to be genuinely terrifying, and somehow humanizes him. Definitely one of the best crime films of all time. The moment I saw the thumbnail, I clicked.
Love the Pusher films! Each presents you with a detestable main character that you somehow wind up rooting for by the end. That is some great storytelling.
So glad you made this! Finally watched Pusher 3 last month. I wish Zlatko Burić were in more movies. I found him to be such a distinct character in the way that he looks, talks, and carries himself physically. Also, +1 for 'Brawl in Cell Block 99'... some of the most gritty violence I've seen haha
Somebody acknowledging these films is great. I was suprised to to see this.👍👏 Thank you sir. Very unnerving films. Its a shame that not many people have seen this trilogy.
Irreversible is pretty much The Movie for the title. It opens up itself so well while being fast paced, super tragic, there is one key scene for the story that is A Lot for many viewers. It just is... a really good, beautifully done and acted movie. It takes you into this dark emotional journey. They even put like a low frequenzy sound that humans cannot really hear, but it causes anxiety, it's thru the whole movie 😅
I watched this trilogy because you fueled me with the first portion of this video, the intro more or less. I've watched pretty much every NWR's film and tv-show, except the Pusher trilogy and another early film, Bleeder or something like that. Pusher is really something special.
I watched the third Pusher film for the first time a few weeks ago. The way it continually builds up tension without any relief is masterful. This film is designed to make you stress and feel frustrated. I need more like it haha
Used to be one of the most interesting directors. But his series works didn't bother me that much. I want to see a new feature length movie asap. It's almost a decade now. You go Nicolas!
I'm so glad that You made a video about my favourite installment of the Pusher trilogy. Maybe this will encourage others to check out more non-Drive from NWR (such as Bleeder or his criminally underrated magnum opus - Too Old To Die Young).
I think Denis Villeneuve is very good at focusing on hands too. Like you say I think it humanizes the character and brings the audience closer. Really interesting video.
Joe Wright is another director who uses hands to portray emotion. He does this rather pointedly in both Pride and Prejudice and in Atonement, both period pieces where the feelings need to be communicated strongly - passion, desire, longing - but cannot be demonstrated outright
I’d love a movie review on dream scenario starring nicholas cage. It was a pretty decent film except for the ending, the idea was pretty original and could’ve had a better execution. But i’d love to hear your take on the film.
forgot how good this film was. Have you seen the film "Ex Drummer"? It's sometimes compared to "Trainspotting" but I'd say it's a way darker version of it and more inspired by Irvine Welsh's books than that film per se
I keep trying to watch the movies mentioned on this channel but I dont think I've watched a single one. I wish I had an attention span that is longer than 10 minutes.
I haven't seen these films, but had lived in Denmark for about 7 years, and I am always a little shocked when I see Danish actors where I'm not really looking for them. These kinds of films, this may be part of the "dogma" films, are always so bleak. The other thing I've noticed in they tend to use extremely grainy film. I think I find it slightly disturbing because Copenhagen is beautiful and inviting. It doesn't feel menacing, or run down. I'm not saying there aren't parts like that, but I see glimpses of places in this video I know pretty well, that I associate with fairly warm feelings, then seeing it in such a harsh light is jarring. If you want a bit of a laugh from the actor playing Milo, look for his beer commercials. "Inge kiinke klanke." Or something like that. :)
Why show when the character can tell? Let me throw out this quote: “Frankly, I hate dialogue. Dialogue is for theatre and television. I don’t remember movies because of a good line, I remember movies because of a strong image. I’m not interested in dialogue at all.”
Pusher trilogy is THE GREATEST film trilogy ever made and I'm willing to fight about it. Never have I seen such a realistic depiction of (Scandinavian) criminal underworld. 10/10
