"Pusher"
1996
Directed by Nicholas Winding Refn

Exciting, frightening and vivid, this Danish feature combines elements of cinema verite and film noir to tell the story of Frank, a small-time Copenhagen heroin dealer who finds himself deeply in debt and with his life on the line. "The ultra-real Copenhagen locations, racy handheld camerawork and Scorsese-Cassavetes style acting and filmmaking heighten the mood, immersing us so thoroughly in Frank's mean-streets world that the ending has the wham of a solar plexus kick" (Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune). Danish with English subtitles. 105 minutes.
