"Your friend Nino didn't make it across the river"

Rating: 9/10 (7 December 2016)

If the story was't made before with different Genres i would have voted 10 out of 10. Its Ryan gosling best performance ever, the name of the character not mentioned once in the movie even his name in IMDb is driver, we don't know his background, all we know about him from the first couple of scenes that he can drive and he is very organized but the real acting appears when he starts to meet Irene (Carey Mulligan) and how we get to understand from a couple of scenes that a love relation starts to grow, Without they even speak you can feel the love between them.Very hard for a performer to say much without saying nothing but when he speaks you want to listen and here comes the work of art from Iranian writer Hossein Amini, even in the action sequences and how real it appears where in a little time they do a lot. One of the great scenes is the elevator scene where the director took a risk by playing with lights to shift between his love to Irene and showing his bad character side at the same moment.A movie is all about how a director let you use your most important senses (sight-hearing) to make you shift between your emotions. The director Nicolas Winding Refn from Denmark toke a Cannes award for this work of art. If you watched the movie and your asking yourself why the driver wears a scorpion jacket and what does it mean by "Nino didn't make it across the river" check out this story: A scorpion asks a frog to carry it across a river. The frog hesitates, afraid of being stung, but the scorpion argues that if it did so, they would both drown. Considering this, the frog agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. When the frog asks the scorpion why, the scorpion replies that it was in its nature to do so.
