Back in June of 2010 I told Refn that I heard he was making a “western set in Bangkok,” to which he seemed hesitant to respond: “Yes, I am doing that, but first I’m going to Los Angeles and doing a movie called Drive with Ryan Gosling.” Well, I guess we all know how these plans panned out.

Director Laurent Duroche has created NWR, a documentary about director Nicolas Winding Refn.
NWR involves himself a lot in this documentary. He told us about his work’s paradoxes and hidden sides, about his relationship with his family whom he seems to love deeply even if he may have depicted it in an ambiguous way. We have met NWR during the presentation of DRIVE in Cannes, we followed him back to Copenhagen and we’ll soon leave with him to Bangkok where he will direct his next movie ONLY GOD FORGIVES starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Ryan Gosling. The interviewees: Nicholas Refn / Ryan Gosling / Mads Mikkelsen / Liv Corfixen his wife / his family / Gaspar Noé / Alejandro Jodorowsky / the journalists Philippe Rouyer (Positif) , Cédric Delelée (Mad Movies) , Fausto Fasulo (Mad Movies)

Drive (2011) by Nicolas Winding Refn
I’d understand anyone who found Drive to be an irritating flick that is trying just a bit too hard to be cool. I for one find it impossible to resist the cool factor on this one.
First, Ryan Gosling has to be one of the coolest actors of his generation — and although he’s a full-on poser in Drive, there’s much more going on behind his annoyingly composed and cool facade (the expression on his face when he’s looking at Carey Mulligan at the end of the skull crushing sequence is a perfect case of multi-layered acting). Incidentally, Gosling’s performance reminds me of Clooney’s in The American.
Second, Carey Mulligan is so fucking adorable (as usual) that it’s impossible not to care for her.
Third, I don’t think Drive would be as appealing without its fantastically graphic scenes of violence.
Fourth, the car scenes are thrilling, although too few and far between; interestingly enough, Gosling’s driving strikes me as very symptomatic of the entire movie: controlled, sleek, smooth but with the occasional burst of explosive violence.
Finally, to wrap it all up in a nice pretty bow, there’s the sexy soundtrack that goes so well with all that driving through LA at night. I couldn’t help but bob my head to the music.
Oh, and last but not least, you’ve got to love the jacket. Priceless. I bet Gosling found his character as soon as he tried the jacket on.

It’s In My Nature, Reflections on Nicolas Winding Refn’s “Drive” « the diary of a film awards fanatic
“There’s this amazing color story throughout the film. Mostly in shades of teal blue and this sort of golden amber color. Everything from the streetlights to the bedspread in a motel fit into this color scheme. As the film progresses and the violence increases the amber begins to turn into this darker red color. It’s just fucking brilliant.”
