If you loved Pusher II, try Pusher
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, and they both carry the cult, foreign gem, neon soaked mood tags, and they sit in Action / Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Pusher II, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Pusher is
You hawk wraps off a bad batch in a neon-lit underpass and now middle-aged Frank owes double to a pair where even fear has interest rates. The concrete ramp of the metro station becomes his daily desk as the city lights blink on, indifferent. Refn lets the pulse of ‘90s Copenhagen feel like a heartbeat that won’t sync with the debt clock.
