Drive (2011) directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, starring Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan. The frames are taken from Driver and Irene’s courtship, which is by far my favourite part of the movie (before the violence begins). The dialog is spare and the love between the characters unfolds slowly and powerfully in a sequence of simple scenes rendered by achingly beautiful cinematography set against a perfect electronic score. The exquisite innocence of the romance blossoms amidst the dread of upcoming calamity.
