With both the Venice and Telluride film festivals underway, the Toronto Film Festival set to begin next week, and our own homegrown 30th annual Vancouver International Film Festival only 4 short weeks away, cinéastes know that the ‘silly season’ for movies is over, and for those who love serious, heart-wrenching cinema, film nirvana is just around the corner.
Over the course of the month we hope to write about the upcoming films we at VanRamblings look forward to most, while later in the month we will publish our annual introductory column to the much-looked-forward-to Vancouver International Film Festival, followed by daily coverage of VIFF30.
For now, though, we present a trailer for winner of Cannes’ Best Director award, Nicholas Refn’s, new film, Drive, starring Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Albert Brooks, Bryan Cranston and, as they say, a ‘cast of thousands’. The pulse-pounding Drive is set to open on Friday, Sept. 16th.
