ah, kusse kurt

DU FICKAR MIG FRANKE BOY

you're tasked with selling this for $10000 but you suddenly lose the heroin. you have 3 days to get $15000, and are afforded 4 more days if you deliver half the amount and take a beating. wwyd?

>>212665485
*adjust the numbers if i misremember the days afforded to frank and the money he has to pay up

>>212664989 (OP)
I literally say this randomly, its such a kino line

>>212664989 (OP)
The scene in the third one where he comes to radovan for help then they cut up the bodies is so bleak. haven't seen something like that in cinema ever

>>212665990
they're all depressing, i don't know how he captured early 2000s western euro lower class degeneracy so well since refn is clearly autistic and its so niche. i guess using non-actors.
pusher 2 with the wedding party scenes is so miserable, and the part where they all do lines in the bathroom with their shitty bleach blonde hair and the baby is not given a fuck about.

>>212666670
> pusher 2 with the wedding party scenes is so miserable
Man that’s good stuff. Especially since nobody really even likes Tonny, so he’s just quiet and is constantly going to the bathroom to snort coke all night

>>212666735
i mean this scene, in pusher 2 and 3, the party dinners at cheap shitty local places hit home for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEoJECeqgb0
they're both very miserable movies in similar ways but i think pusher 3 is a bit different, tonny gets out of prison and wants to change and all of a sudden has a kid to take care of, but finds everybody around him is a scumbag beyond saving. pusher 3 is more about a guy getting older and having to save himself while being forced to come to terms with not having the skills and respect he once had.

i had the music from the wedding scene in my head for so long but didn't really catch it was from there until a recent rewatch. pusher 2 is the relatable one as an outcast young guy but pusher 3 is the most thorough character study with milo trying his best to navigate through his life as he ages and trouble keeps piling on

>>212666972
tonny is also the only one who grows and has a hopeful ending, pusher 1 and 2 ending just have them kind of escaping. i think milo is the coolest too though, i like when he visits radovan and he actually has a restaurant like he talked about in pusher 1.

>>212666670
You only truly "Get" those movies if you're a Euro. They're extremely European movies, pure of hopeless bleakness, depravity and misery.

>>212664989 (OP)
Can't say I expected seeing that mug on /tv/

pusher 2 > pusher 3 > pusher 1

all are good movies though

>>212667384
i wish we had more of this type of autist in media than the troon autists.

i remember seeing a making of thing about only god forgives, and refn went to do muay thai lessons in thailand to learn more about it even though he moves like a giraffe.

>>212665014
nu bliver kussen stram

>>212668139
Refn movies once he leaves denmark become trash

I've recently decided that Pusher 2 is a damn near perfect film.

>>212666670
>they're all depressing, i don't know how he captured early 2000s western euro lower class degeneracy so well since refn is clearly autistic and its so niche. i guess using non-actors
A lot of the non-actors he used were drug dealers or involved with them. So they provided a lot of very authentic insights along with already knowing the right mannerisms.

>>212668139
>more of this type of autist in media than the troon autists
The problem is that autists are socially terrible. And hollywood and the media is all about socialising and connections. It's one giant cool-kids club.
So the quiet autist who wants to talk about robots and the best way to create realistic blood effects is shunned and not someone that your typical hr Stacy wants to deal with, nevermind your coke-addled exec (who's trying to bang hr Stacy).
Troons get in because it's in vogue at the moment. Literally virtue signalling. "Omg trannies are so marginalised! We need voices like that!". But remember that most of them aren't typical autists, they're just narcissists who know the right people.

Pusher trilogy is GOAT

>there are still people existing who are convinced he didnt kill frank at the end of pusher.
its pretty sad, really.

>>212669297
Then why is he still looking for him in 2?

>>212665683
same

european crime dramas dont work because all of these characters could have simply disappeared and gone on welfare they live in fucking denmark for christs sakes it's not chicago

Pusher 4: The Return of Franke when?

>>212670567

i gave it a 6/10 but dont remember much of it

should watch it again

>>212664989 (OP)
Why did superman kill him?

>>212669802
We got plenty of drug dealers and they Pay there rent social wellfare and spend the drug money on luxury goods 80% are brown. Fucking Brown turds need to leave Denmark.

>>212670567
it's disjointed and very juvenile but it's brimming with youthful edge and I appreciate it but i can see why Refn and Mikkelsen are embarrassed by it a little.

WHY DID YOU SAY MARTHA FRANKE

>>212670915
This is a great scene when he just spouts stuff in serbian filled with anger and venom and Radovan starts punching on Frank a little

>>212670622
>The sequel replaces a member of the team

>>212667302
True. I get depressed just from looking at pictures of eurabia. Tbqh I don't know how you guys don't have a continent wide suicide crisis.

>>212669802
really dumb thing to say when thats exactly what happens in all 3 of the movies, frank likely just runs away and disappears (he has no choice), tonny also appears to be leaving, in pusher 3 radovan left the crime world behind entirely and successfully, just milo stays stuck in it due to probably necessity.
the point of these movies is the environment and shittiness of the people, similar to the sopranos, other gangster movies make it out like the organisations are super powerful and have these codes and will track down people across countries. tonny [spoiler/kills his dad who is high up in the world but nobody respects him so its possible they won't suspect him, nobody knows about the task he was given either so he likely gets away. the endings are only open enough for you to get the point that they should/could have just ran away and not be around all those retarded subhumans and try to be better.

they are obviously all on welfare already anyway, none of the characters live in >>212670273
they all live in social housing apartments.

Any more Euro grimdark crime dramas like Pusher? I love Pusher and even watched Nil by Mouth this english movie a while back that's similar in tone and style.

>>212671084
man i fucked up that spoiler really badly.

Anyone else watched the Britremake or do we pretend it doesn't exist?

>>212670953
DRUK

>>212671193
every euroguy in his 20's and 30's looked and acted like this. when i tell people pusher is a quintessential euroxperience movie, i mean it.

>>212671579
He was great in The Bridge too

>>212671084
I think Scorsese also nailed the small time neighbourhood guys aspect with Mean Streets. There's also similar stuff like Made in Hong Kong by Fruit Chan but that's asia. But you're right crime/gangster films are usually glamorized instead of showing criminals like lowly backstabbing scrounging pricks

>>212671579
I lost it when I saw him in F1.
>DU FUCK MIG FRANKE

>>212665485
rob a bank & if that fails probably grift podcast

>>212671704
What I've noticed with American/Chinese movies about criminals is that even if they say otherwise, they always glorify them and make them too cool. In European movies, it couldn't be more different. They're portrayed rightfully as god forsaken scum who live and die horribly.

>>212670567
The Kim Bodnia stuff is good, the mads refn insert shit is shallow and lame. Needed more focus on Bodnia and the dude who plays Milo

>>212671006
What's extra funny is that he speaks in pure Croatian (dialect of the same language that you may call whatever)
Radovan is the one that speaks in more standard Serbian (of Montenegrin variety)

>>212667384
They both made their only good stuff around the same time, amazing when you think about it, and are complete hacks that people pretend to like for reddit points

>>212671742
I guess Un Prophète would also be up this alley. I guess it's just the tradition of european cinema. If you dig older movies like Accattone, La Notte Brava or 1950s Melville also wanted some sort of true to life aspect on screen

>>212671742
I was glad to see Revanche subvert that trope.

Who was in the wrong here?

>>212671742
Shame we will never see the movie about european comission then

>>212669362
why the fuck would he admit to a murder he himself committed lol?

>>212672052
just yesterday i walked past a pole raging at a woman over the phone in english (shut the fuck up bitch, i kill you etc etc) in the middle of a grocery store and i was reminded of this scene

the pole subhuman is obviously in the wrong for being so disrespectful and telling him its coke

>>212672052
obviously the polacko

>>212673310
they look exactly like any eurotrash couple living in studio apartments in the 2000's. god i love being a euro. all that you need now is a broken panasonic tv playing eurovision and nokias laying around.

>>212668795
danish movies are so fucking good, it's not fair. the swedish movie industry is godawful

>>212673553
There was one great director from there once, but yes I wouldn't be able to name one non-Bergman Swedish movie.

>>212672075
if we did, it'd be a 2 hour execution of everyone heading it.

>>212673716
johan falk 1-3 are pretty decent but obviously nothing close to pusher

>>212673553
danes put themselves on the map with dogme95, such a great cinema scene.

>>212673553
danes seem to have a pretty vital culture industry, although it's basically the same group of actors that show up in a lot of stuff and almost all of their most original and bold ideas come from von Trier's production company. swedes have Bergman and a couple of high-profile actors. they used to make decent crime thrillers, both movies and series, but i have no idea how they fizzled out over the years. here in Norway the kino industry is basically ruled by inheritance and nepotism. very rarely will you see someone come up with something unique like Skam or Exit, and it's even rarer to see a creator or director come from nothing. we're also fucking obsessed with world war 2 for some reason.

>>212674999
>used to make decent crime thrillers, both movies and series, but i have no idea how they fizzled out over the years
There is only so much dark crime thrillers are missing teenage girls you can watch before you get sick of all of them
They're great but they're all basically the same dreary depressing shit

>>212666670
I didn't know Europe was as bad as the south us.

>>212671107
Mads looks cool but do you know how uncomfortable he is wearing loafers with no socks on a bike? Very. Plus that wool jacket. Heat stroke.

Great thread

Not only Refn is autistic but he was also a rich kid. Dude directed the first Pusher film when he was 24.

>>212682283
how rich? i watched a small documentary about him and his family didn't seem particularly wealthy, ofcourse he doesn't seem to have grown up around people like in the pusher films but still.
i thought he struggled hard to fund his first cheap movies.

>>212682394
Very comfortable. Not very rich.
