Pusher (4K Restoration)

Drug dealer Frank experiences the worst week of his life when a heroin deal goes wrong and he ends up owing a large debt to Balkan drug lord Milo. Frank struggles to pay back the money while the pressure from the ruthless drug boss keeps increasing. His growing desperation spirals out of control as nothing goes according to plan. Pusher was made on an extremely low budget, using handheld cameras, natural light, and almost no music. Refn wanted the viewer to feel as if they were right in the middle of the chaos of Copenhagen’s criminal underworld. The result was a film so raw and realistic that after its premiere, a persistent rumor spread that the largely unknown cast had actually used drugs on set. Pusher felt lifelike, unfiltered, and dangerous.
