Nicolas Winding Refn: Biography and Film Analysis-Part 2-Auteur Theories

Support Auteur Theories on Patreon:   / auteurtheories   Here is part two of a detailed two part unauthorized video examination of the life and films of Danish auteur filmmaker, Nicholas Winding Refn. WARNING: Major to minor spoilers of Refn's films abound, as well as profanity and violence. In part two, we look at how Refn abandoned Danish cinema to make the leap into English language filmmaking. We'll look at Pusher 3: With Blood on my Hands, Miss Marple, Bronson, Valhalla Rising, and finally, Drive, plus what the future holds for Refn. I used a vast array of sources for this video, including director's commentary tracks for the three Pusher films, the many, many interviews Refn has given in the course of his career that are available in print and online, and two feature length documentaries of Refn's career; Gambler (2006) by Phie Ambo, and NWR (2012) by Laurent Duroche. This is the first time all of this information has been put together in one place. The original music in this video is by Low Fantasy.   / lowfantasy   The rest of the music is taken from the films in question and belongs to the respective copyright owners. The Auteur Theories is a video series dedicated to detailed examinations of the lives and films of cinema's most unique and gifted artists.
