You are clearly in the majority with Drive but I hate it...hate it! I wanted to enjoy it...I like Gosling and Albert Brooks but for me, it went nowhere. And the Gosling character might as well have been mute. I kept screaming(in my head) say something!! Did I mention I hated this film. However I concede it is held in high esteem. So it must be me,
Aside from the classics such as A Matter of Life and Death (1946) and Blithe Spirit (1945), the works of Giuseppe Tornatore such as La migliore offerta (2013) (aka Deception, 2013), Una pura formalità (1994) and La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano (1998) (aka The Legend of 1900, 1998) deserve way more attention.
