Shot in a guerilla documentary realistic style, Nicolas Winding Refn’s Pusher is highlighted by the fantastic acting from Kim Bodina, the street life realism and Mads Mikkelsen’s back of the head tattoo. It’s a simple movie, but it leaves a lasting impression. It’s also one helluva debut from NWR, and a must watch for fans of the dope game.

bald mads mikkelsen made a ur mom joke and did a circle kick at the beginning and it went downhill from there

Honestly, this and Drive are probably the two closest things we'll ever have to a legitimate Grand Theft Auto movie.

Action!: Nicolas Winding's Mood and Pace Through The Neon, Gritty Streets
Continuing with our series of great Danish directors, we meet what has been one of its most unique filmmakers not only to come out of Denmark but in cinema, Nicolas Winding Refn.
While some directors make a splash with early works that foreshadow their signature styles, Refn's debut is almost unrecognizably different from his later work. Nowhere to be found are the neon lights and hypnotic slow burn in favor of a more gritty, raw look similar to the work of many other European indie films of the time, including those made by Boyle and Ritchie. This very raw approach gives the picture an excellent feeling of authenticity, almost…

Gritty, well shot, great music and packed full of moments to keep you on the edge of your seat. The narrative isn't anything revolutionary but it doesn't have to be. This is just the kind of film I was looking for tonight.

really, REALLY foreign to the decadent slow cinema-adjacent style of only god forgives or too old to die young, but i still like it a lot -- the NWR predilection for long circular takes and sick needledrops is here at the beginning, as are his thematic fixations with self-destructive toxic masculinity and catastrophically stupid violence. pusher is a movie with dirt under its fingernails, its grainy handheld restlessness tapping into the same pressure-point panic attack anxiety of films like uncut gems and bringing out the dead, and at the end you get a taste of that raw neon-hell that refn would later refine into an artform.

even seeing bald mads mikkelsen, who plays an insane drug dealer, didn't help me get through this
