Winner of Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, Nicolas Winding Refn's (Bronson, Valhalla Rising) controversial Drive (2011), starring Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan, will hit UK retail shelves on January 30th. Technical specs and region coding status for this release are unknown at the moment.
The film will be distributed by Icon Home Entertainment.
Ryan Gosling stars as a Los Angeles wheelman for hire, stunt driving for movie productions by day and steering getaway vehicles for armed heists by night. Though a loner by nature, Driver can't help falling in love with his beautiful neighbor Irene (Carey Mulligan), a vulnerable young mother dragged into a dangerous underworld by the return of her ex-convict husband Standard (Oscar Isaac).
