DRIVE (R)
"I've been driving all night, hands wet on the wheel"
From start to finish, Drive is pure visceral film
making. The cinematography is fascinating, the editing sublime, the
characters and how they are portrayed and composed in frame are filled
with minutia. It reminded me of Vanishing Point, but with less car
porn. It reminded me of early Tarantino without the "snappy-on-purpose"
dialogue. The hyper-kinetic, golden rayed ultra-violence will turn
some people off, but for me it was the splash of red on a beautifully
large and complex canvas that has to be there for the film to be as
effective as it is.
