Review Detail

I thoroughly enjoyed this edit. The addition of the La La Land footage was sparse, but with clear intention. It both added emotional depth and motivation previously only hinted at in Driver's relative stoicism, as well as accentuated the brutality of the real world in contrast to the inner beauty. This is especially true in the elevator sequence, as the lights dimming in the original Drive footage leads wonderfully into the dance sequence before being drawn out abruptly back into the stark, efficient violence. The addition of "City of Stars" over the second half of the credits was a very nice touch. I would definitely recommend checking this out.
