One of the best films in recent years, in my opinion, has to be Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive. Every time I see it I get more from it, and it has to have one of the most original soundtracks – in terms of the score by Cliff Martinez, or the music choices – of the decade. A few years back, the BBC did a very original experiment where it got Radio 1 and Zane Lowe to come up with an alternative soundtrack for a one-off broadcast. Although I personally prefer the original stuff, it was great to see a different interpretation. Well, that version is now coming to Blu-ray with new box-art and bonus content. All of the delicious details are below.
Drive stars Ryan Gosling (La La Land, The Big Short), Cary Mulligan (The Great Gatsby, Wildlife), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Christina Hendricks (The Neon Demon) and Ron Perlman (Hellboy). Icon Film Distribution presents Nicolas Winding Refn‘s Drive on special edition Blu-ray and DVD 13 May.
Official synopsis: Fasten you seatbelts – the critically acclaimed and ultra-stylish noir thriller Drive is back in the fast lane. For the first time ever experience the film with both the original soundtrack and the alternative BBC Radio 1 version, curated by Zane Lowe and featuring artists including The 1975, Bastille, Bring Me The Horizon, Foals and CHVRCHES, plus a host of additional bonus material.
Drive follows the thrilling story of a mysterious Hollywood stunt driver (Ryan Gosling) who shifts gear into criminal getaway driver as night falls.
