Is it affectless?
Yeah, to the point where people have referred to the character as autistic. He barely speaks throughout the film. He just drives around and explodes into violence from time to time. The film itself isn't affectless though. It's quite moving in places.

that's obviously not a serious question but there is that quality to ryan g's performance, the nonchalant violence of the gangsters, even the plastic, artificial quality of some of the music which i nevertheless really enjoy

I'm surprised Luka the internet anthropologist hasn't seen it tbh. It's one of those films that prompts lots of young men to post their humourless analysis in the YouTube comments.

more like defined the synthwave thing. also, crucially, the sigma male is a ridiculous cultural fiction and ryan gosling is a real life hero

@WashYourHands think it's traditional to call for a live watching thread at this stage

I always picture the Drive font as being the same as the one from Vice City, but it isn't. It's hot pink, but it actually looks like some of the text from To Live and Die in L.A.
