Watching this movie made me want to rewatch The Driver, which uh I did at work today because the entire movie is on YouTube.

^^I rescreened it on dvd the other day. Forgot how much Adjani's part consisted of looking alternately cool & scared in the cab of pickup.

yeah adjani is just there to look pretty, but then again so is ryan o'neal (who has always struck me as a ridiculous actor). the romantic stuff in the film is completely superfluous.
i like the driver but i feel like it doesn't go all the way in the minimalist direction that is it's raison d'etre, and if it doesn't go all the way it's sort of a problem since going all the way is the point.

I've only seen o'neal in Barry Lyndon, so i probably have a very distorted view of his effectiveness.
one other thing i liked about this movie was how it was very self-referentially about Refn himself "going hollywood."

The romantic subplot is ridiculously vague. Of course, it's roughly xeroxed from the Delon/Rossier plotline in Le samourai, minus Melville's symbolism.
Having looked at both of those films after catching Drive, it reinforced one of things I found most refreshing about the new film: No cops. (Aside from the opening chase & Mulligan's interview after the blown heist). It's all about these underworld types slowly self-destructing.

q about the opening sequence: did he just ditch those dudes in the parking garage? like was he bailing or was that a job done?

he was past his 5 minute mark, he said explicitly anything that happens after that isn't his business, so I think he was just getting out of there. I assume they got caught. maybe not though.

timed precisely to get them into the Staples Center garage just as the Laker game ends (seen on his TV at halftime in establishing). silver impala now one of hundreds. all three blend into crowd and walk out whistling.

In her suit, which was filed at the sixth judicial circuit court in Oakland, Michigan, Deming says the Nicolas Winding Refn film "bore very little similarity to a chase, or race action film ... having very little driving in the motion picture".

Thought this was okay, the dialogue between the Driver and Irene should be redone on XtraNormal.
I totally noticed the chase scene after the pawn shop was filmed on the Santa Susana Pass not far from where the Manson Family lived.
