Drive (2011)

Don’t You Want Me?

Welcome to 'Don't You Want Me?' - a podcast series taking a lighthearted look at the most relatable, intriguing and dysfunctional relationships in film.

In this episode, we’re talking about the haunting 2011 drama Drive, directed by Nicholas Winding Refn. With a screenplay by Hossein Amini and based on the novel by James Sallis, this won Refn the Best Director award at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival and saw Ryan Gosling take on his first lead role in an action film. Tonight we’ll be trying to be neighbourly to The Driver, played by Ryan Gosling and Irene, played by Carey Mulligan. Is this the deluxe version of a relationship or is it just about standard?

Recorded in August 2021.
