The TVI Take
Nicolas Winding Refn's 2008 biographical film about Britain's most-notorious prisoner, Tom Hardy in his breakthrough role. The structural commitment to letting Hardy's months-long physical transformation render the canonical performance-cognition material, and Refn's pre-Drive expressionist register, is canonical late-2000s prestige character study.
