Pusher feat. Michael Snydel
Added 2022-07-15 16:48:02 +0000 UTCFilm writer and host of The Film Stage's Intermission Podcast joins us to discuss Nicolas Winding Refn's debut feature 'Pusher', a gritty, drug-addled urban crime thriller set against the backdrop of Copenhagen's seediest bars, backrooms, and alleyways.
We discuss Refn's relentless, kinetic directorial style (and how this has changed markedly over the last two decades of output), the acting debut of one of Denmark's most distinguished exports, the actor Mads Mikkelsen, and how Refn's shared upbringing in Denmark and the United States results in a distinct ideological style in his films.

...if "The Neon Demon" wasn't so visually extraordinary, it would be properly thought of as Showgirls with an even less curious straight script-writer.
