I don't understand why the DP/30 videos don't have more views. Honestly my favourite film interviews on KZread.

Me too. You could tell that these dudes are cinephiles!

This is inspiring, not only because he doesn't drive...but because I always wanted to make a film featuring a city that is important to me like Boston...movies like Drive, Nightcrawler, and Heat impressed me with how well shot it was and heavily featured L.A.. Now knowing that he never went to Los Angeles before gave me hope I could do something like that someday too. To me it would seem as if he LOVED driving and was FROM L.A....didn't expect the total opposite..

Great interview.. one of the rarest interviews, where the interviewer allows the interviewee to think-through and complete the whole sentence or whole chain-of-thought-process before shooting another question..

NWR's Albert Brooks explanation for casting reminded me a lot of PTA 's explanation for casting Adam Sandler in punch drunk love... I completely get what both directors see on both actors, of being ticking time bombs

If you compare Refn here to how he talks in DP/30s interview for Neon Demon (and other more recent interviews), he's definitely transformed and changed his way of speaking. He seems more in touch and humble here. Interesting because I feel that's how his movies and tv show have evolved as well. More emotionally disconnected and distant. Bit of a shame as it seems he was in his prime between Bronson and Drive.

"Oh cool he has a video on shame. Oh cool he has a video on looper. Oh cool he has a video on the social network! Awesome he has a video on drive!" Good lord I will never sleep again!

A great interview. The interviewer was fantastic, and Nicolas is just so good at articulating his ideas.

Great interview. I love the story of how Drive was turned into a film, especially the bit about Refn editing the movie in his own house.

Drive is my favorite movie of 2011. Thanx for this interview!

21:32 "Help me by telling me what you think isn't working." Absolutely the wisest advice for any artist, be it directors, painters, musicians. Take advice, take criticism and use it to make something better.

Drive was brilliant. Its a shame it has only got 1 nomination at the Oscars.

Ozu Who cares?

He's so clever.And I don't know what happened to Logan's Run (sad it didn't go through) but look! the guy knew what movies he will make up until 2016! He mentioned Only God Forgives, which he did make in 2013, and then I Walk With the Dead - which is now The Neon Demon!

I'm sure Logan's Run will happen. Give it another couple of years. Gosling is probably super busy.

The absolute best movie of the year.

Yeah, he definitely made his name with Drive (especially in the US), but it's perfectly reasonable to think he has stronger films. I am of the opinion that his Pusher trilogy is his best work. Can't wait for his next film though.

There's something about you. It's hard to explain. They're talking about you, boy. But you're still the same. Best fucking film of 2011.

That was a fantastic interview.

Amazing interview. Thank you.

V All that said. he's an arbitrary filmmaker. It's very awesome to know you have a chance to make a living out of your ideals. Hollywood isnt the only place for filmmakers. and i love the thought, because i love film yet hate pretentious a-holes.

I just came from watching that lol. Her face when he says the word is priceless, then the way the interviewers jump when he says it.

Great interview, brilliant director!

Here's a funny piece of information. He actually got in trouble for swearing on the BBC morning show in the UK. What happened was he got out and they interviewed him for quite a while and then Carrie (i forgot her last name) she asked "how do film some of these violent action scenes" and said "well it's like fucking" haha

"he's half-man, half-machine, he's a human being...he's a hero"

yeah it's right up there on my list as well

same. and keep your eye out for the char from refn s Valhalla rising one eye

Drive is a perfect film

This guy is so cool.

on box office mojo its stated that the movie cost 15 mil and earned 35 mil internationally

fantastic! thx

Rockin the Tom Ford spectacles...

great interview!

I literally can't wait for Only God Forgives

what did you think of Only god Forgives? I feel its a much more intense version. its an accession of sorts for Nicholas to write a story about such uncomfortable subject matter. Yet its something WE ALL HAVE to deal with. so we all relate to the film. its pretty incredible. His films are human based rather than genre based. I think

Aint seen it yet but it seems difficult to watch. Not becuase its a bad idea but becuase Refn is so strange. That's my take. Watch Bronson.

Yes very true. Human based

If he can create Bronson with 1m, imagine how good Logan's Run is going to be.

Best director of 2011

Awww, 'The Island' could've been so much!

I fell asleep during Valhalla Rising and I love vikings, I didn't know he made Bronson but I was pretty disappointed with Bronson. But I LOVED Drive and I only saw it for the first time this year.

Gosling and Refn are currently filming another film together called Only God Forgives. I cant wait!

damn this guy is so fucking awesome

"In a way..."

there are so man opinionated comments on all of his videos. this is a direct abstraction to him driving us to be better intellectually. While his films make us feel an obligation to feel a sort of importance. Everyone is important on different scales and you must utilize your abilities in order to feel full.

What happened to Logan's Run?

Kevin T Great actor

i disagree ive seen Bronson and Drive and Drive is where he exploded onto the scene and the film was amazing the majority of people who have seen Drive would agree with me

god, another Danish directors with phobias

say you're taught French, and the person who taught you French had a Spanish accent, so you then ended up becoming fluent in French but spoke it w/ a Spanish accent. Would you consider it fair to be called pretentious for that? Do know what 'pretentious' means? (And as a side note, 'Hello' usually goes at the beginning)

How about you watch the pusher trilogy before you explain how he exploded onto the scene. And please, don't use the public as an agreement. I can find Refn fans that have followed him from the beginning that would agree with me but thats not the point.

Drive was labelled as anti-semitic? Huh?

Whel it looks like Logan's run, is in the limbos of Hollywood for now... Joe Silver ?

you're*

Only in-camera FX??? Yes!!! I hate CGI.

I saw Drive as a Capitalism story. The Worker; the factory owner; the investors...the investor bleeds the factory owner. The factory owner has been "taking advantage of the worker ever since. "

Difficult to say. Somewhat of an opinion.

Refn's my fav director. But I was disappointed with Drive. He was a director that portrayed violence with uniqueness. Apart from the pusher trilogys even Valhalla was excellent. But Drive just seemed like he lost himself. The best actor in the film was that dude that got shot during the robbery.
