Was the film any good? Gosling seemed to go through a period of doing these neo-noir things. You had the stuff with Refn, that one and the one he directed himself, but I only saw the Refn stuff.
You know what, I was so tired I couldn't watch it all, but it was a shame cos I was enjoying it well enough, despite a few provisos. But it's three different stories, the first one has Gosling and that guy Ben Mendelsohn in it - possibly why BM was in the film that Gosling did himself a bit later that you refer to above, Lost River it was called - Gosling is a stunt driver, almost a prototype for his character in Drive you might say, and he's ok I guess.
Lost River though, I really like that, I love films and books about people eking out a living in semi-abandoned towns where some kind of vestige of society just about persists eg Dhalgren, In The Country of Last Things or Happy Days... and Lost River is a good example with loads of weird imagery etc and a cool soundtrack from the Italians Do It Better guys... albeit a little thin on plot and stuff like that.
Watching that I'd like to watch it again, that weird club she works where the men can't touch her... lots of ideas in there.
