Part action film, part art film, DRIVE is brutal and beautiful. Winner of Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival, for Nicolas Winding Refn of the PUSHER trilogy, DRIVE is the perfect blend of Hollywood and European cinema. The Cosford is pleased to bring this electric film back to the big screen for a limited engagement and predicts it to become a new cult classic. Beautifully shot, succinctly spliced, and excellently acted, DRIVE is mesmerizing and adventurous.
"Gosling and director Nicolas Winding Refn neatly manage the hat trick of paying homage to those wheelmen of yore while reinvigorating the genre with style, smarts and flashes of wit."
-Ann Hornaday, WASHINGTON POST
"The look is artfully stylized, influenced by classic film noir; the mood is dark; the performances nuanced; and the story unnervingly exciting."
-Claudia Puig, USA TODAY
"Gosling and this powerful film, which is ultimately about a moment of grace, deserve each other. He's the medium's most graceful minimalist."
-Joe Morgenstern, WALL STREET JOURNAL
Ryan Gosling stars as a Los Angeles wheelman for hire, stunt driving for a movie productions by day and steering getaway vehicles for armed heists by night. After a heist spins unpredictably out of control, Driver (Gosling) finds himself driving defense for the girl he loves, tailgated by a syndicate of deadly serious criminals. But when he realizes that the gangsters are after more than the bag of cash in his trunk -- that they're coming straight for Irene (Carey Mulligan) and her son -- Driver is forced to shift gears and go on the offense.
Make sure you make it to the special midnight screening - January 28 - it's the best way to see this modern neo-neon noir!
Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. Rated R.
USA, 2011, Digital Projection, 100 minutes, Color, English.
JOFFREY: MAVERICKS OF AMERICAN DANCE tells the story of this groundbreaking cultural treasure, known as the first truly American dance company. Narrated by Mandy Patinkin, the film documents how The Joffrey Ballet revolutionized American ballet by daringly combining modern dance with traditional ballet technique, combining art with social statement and setting ballets to pop and rock music scores.
"Hosannas and hallelujahs for the new documentary on the Joffrey Ballet, that groundbreaking American experiment in ballet... JOFFREY: MAVERICKS OF AMERICAN DANCE... features lively, sometimes emotional interviews.... The film follows the burst of glory of the fledgling group in the '60s, as well as the devastating blows that almost pulled the company under later on."
-Wendy Perron, editor in chief of DANCE MAGAZINE
JOFFREY: MAVERICKS OF AMERICAN DANCE weaves a wealth of rare archival footage and photographs along with interviews featuring former and current Joffrey star dances, showing the full history of the Company from its founding to the present. It describes how the Joffrey repeatedly resurrected itself after devastating financial and artistic setbacks and introduced cutting-edge choreographers such as Twyla Tharp, Laura Dean and Margo Sappington to larger audiences.
Join us for the January 28 Premiere at 1:30pm which screens simultaneously with the film's world premiere at the Film Society of Lincoln Center in New York City, including a live-brodcast, interactive panel/Q+A with the director and talent from the Joffrey.
