Pusher Trilogy

Nicolas Winding Refn made a good record of movies from 2008-2012 ( Drive, Only God Forgives, Valhalla Rising, Bronson) but his earlier trilogy Pusher I (1996) , Pusher II&III (2004/5) is very refreshing and complete even today.

Completely from the drug pusher/dealer point of view and their lives- we see "life" as-it-is  .. very humanistic and interesting. With drugs -  always a "deal" gets botched up, but here 'we' are set up into a thrill ride from the start whether you like it or not..

like the drug itself... you will want more and more... (Pusher II... Pusher III).. and the music will not let you stop it.



Zlatko Buric (Milo) got an award for Pusher I and he will take it all the way to Pusher III.
