The driver
Film cycle: Ciné-club Flagey / Action / Crime
The Detective (Bruce Dern) is chasing the Driver (Ryan O’Neal) in this tense film noir where the characters remain anonymous. Walter Hill, a director of bracing action films, set out a new blueprint for the car chases. His overriding aesthetic gamble was to purify the drama and psychology to the point of abstraction, to the benefit of the visual.
