Description
Frank and Tony are two drug dealers with good connections and a dirty but exhilarating life in the Copenhagen underworld. One day a deal goes very wrong and Frank loses his seemingly ice-cold control when he ends up with a large debt to the Serbian drug lord Milo. Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive, The Neon Demon) debuted with this violent and brutal portrayal of self-destructiveness and the darkness in humanity. Hopelessness and fatalism permeate Pusher, but the absence of a certain humanity is fortunately not total.
