Michael Mann must have been a pretty big influence on Nicolas Winding Refn when he wrote Drive. A lot of similarities particularly in the lighting during some of the driving shots.

movie poster is very similar as well.

it's ok. i guess average if not disappointing. i haven't read the source material, but i'm a huge cronenberg fan and he does a good job. i think the whole movie is pretty badly miscast though, except for sarah gadon.

cronenberg is god. he was good in nightbreed too.

do you know what song this is at 22 secs?

not on the official crash soundtrack.

I agree on the casting, but I couldn't find that many good things about Cosmopolis even though I really like Cronenberg?

While the dialogues were interesting enough to make me want to take a look at the book, the way there never seems to be a quiet moment and the less than stellar delivery make them become quite annoying fairly quick. Some things are funny in a dumb way (medical exam!), and when the actors shift positions in the limo for the 20th time without any reason to get a new angle, the camerawork does not look so hot either.

After A Dangerous Method and this, I get the feeling Cronenberg has lost his touch.
