INFO: "...the gritty and violent thriller is certain to have success..." Variety "A flawless balance between criminal activity and human character". Sight & Sound "...a punchy, accomplished verite drama that has a persuasive narrative grip." The Guardian THE PUSHER TRILOGY "Will move you to tears" * * * * * Film Review At last, the trilogy you've been waiting for has arrived with the 12 June 2006 DVD release of the PUSHER triple pack, courtesy of Momentum Pictures. Demonstrating the films' extraordinary content, style and sheer entertainment value, the DVD release coincides with the high profile NFT season featuring all three films, so there's never been a better time to get a slice of the action. But only if you've got what it takes! Featuring the seminal PUSHER and its two explosive sequels PUSHER II and PUSHER III, this must-have triple pack forms an intricate, gripping and grisly cycle of crime films. Capturing the nihilism of FIGHT CLUB and the grittiness of TRAINSPOTTING and PULP FICTION whilst providing its own edgy and dangerously-dark style of verité, the PUSHER trilogy takes you to places that even your imagination dares go. Emanating from Danish director and screenwriter Nicolas Winding Refn, each of the PUSHER films is imbued with a shocking understanding of the economics of underworld thugs, the many uses of violence and the in-fighting that corrodes from within the very foundations of this grisly world. Refn's vicious 1996 debut PUSHER is an uncompromising, critically acclaimed verité study of life in the heartless underworld where to deal or not to deal is the question, and introduces to us a series of brutish thugs, from dealer Frank (Kim Bodnia) to Serbian crime lord and lousy cook Milo (Zlatko Buric). So if you like your entertainment to be compelling, uncompromising and utterly hellish, then look no further than the PUSHER trilogy, but be warned, the films are not for the faint hearted!
