Drive [4K UHD]

Product Information

Sigel rated the cameras at 800 ASA, and even pushed them to 1600 ASA at times, so he was able to get decent dynamic range without introducing too much noise to the image. I however felt that the scenes of violence stressed the lengths people will go to when trying to gain or protect certain things. Drive is ostensibly based on the 2005 novel of the same name by James Sallis, but the script by Hossein Amini follows it so loosely that it would be more accurate to say that the film is inspired by the book, rather than being an adaptation. While Driver’s mantra is that he doesn’t carry a gun, just drives, by the end of the film, it’s obvious that he meant that the same way that Quigley did in Quigley Down Under—he may have said he never had much use for one, but he never said that he didn’t know how to use it. Unlike fellow syncretist Quentin Tarantino, he’s subsumed those influences under his own particular authorial stamp to such an extent that they’re often barely recognizable.

Second Sight’s standard 4K Ultra HD release of Drive is UHD only, with a Region B Blu-ray version released separately. As for supplements, MVD has carried over all the features included on their 2021 Blu-ray of the film and a new interview with actor Jason Tobin has been added.

This is rare though, and in most movies, I either keep the volume level as is or I have to increase the volume. Intensely atmospheric, Drive adopts cool retro beats and superior stylisation to create a memorable film noir and veritable modern classic.

The UHD100 disc and included fold-out A3 poster (showcasing the new artwork by Sam Gilbey) are housed in a black Elite case that has reversible artwork. This presentation may come off as revisionism to some, as the vibrancy is really turned up in key sequences, like the climactic neon-dominated battle. Action scenes are great, comedy is top notch and everything is so over the top, that you'll smile for the whole duration of the film. He explores both the similarities and differences in the camerawork for each of these scenes, and the ways in which they help to establish Driver’s character. Yet the whole point of being a getaway driver isn’t necessarily to escape the police; instead, it’s not to draw their attention in the first place.With her ex-con husband owing protection money she’s drawn into a dangerous underworld and only the driver can save her. Keanu Reeves and Christina Hendricks have joined the cast of Nicholas Winding Refn's latest film, The Neon Demon. There are several standout moments, including one of the early shots of Carey Mulligan's heroine, bathed in glorious sunshine within her apartment, positively glowing in a picture-perfect freeze-frame moment. Refn admits that everything that he does is about transformation, and for him, this film does represent the transformation of a loner into a hero. The unexpected commercial success of Drive notwithstanding, Refn’s sensibilities were never meant for the mainstream.
