This brutal crime film was way too intense for my anxious brain, but in the best way possible. And most people have never even heard of it: Pusher 3.
One thing I appreciate about Nicolas Winding Refn films is that they know how to build good tension. It doesn't matter if it's a film about a driver on a vengeful quest, or a young model trying to be the next best thing. It's ALWAYS INTENSE. One underrated and often overlooked technique Refn uses to achieve this 'intensity' is letting the characters speak with their 'hands'. This can be seen in Drive, Only God Forgives, Neon Demon, as well as the Pusher trilogy we'll be discussing today.
But in my humble opinion, Refn's most nerve racking film is the last installment of the trilogy, Pusher 3. So let's delve into what makes this film such a fun-stressful-killmenowplease movie that every-nobody can enjoy (?).
