PVR Pictures to distribute Drive

Mumbai: PVR Pictures will distribute director Nicolas Winding Refn’s latest offering, Drive, in India shortly.

The film, adapted from James Sallis’s 2005 novel, is about an unnamed driver (Ryan Gosling) who works at the garage of his friend Shannon (Bryan Cranston), is a stunt driver by day and a getaway driver for criminals at night.

His scheme involves getting into racing with a local criminal named Bernie Rose (Albert Brooks) but the driver has befriended his neighbour Irene (Carey Mulligan) and agrees to help her husband (Oscar Isaac) get out of trouble with thugs hassling him for money, pulling them both deep into something.

The film premiered at the recently held Toronto International Film Festival and also at the Cannes Film Festival 2011.
