Tony Zhou back with another great installment of Every Frame a Painting, this time analyzing the quadrant system as it is used by Nicolas Winding Refn in Drive.

One of the many pleasures of Nicolas Winding Refn’s “Drive” (2011) is that the shots feel both tightly composed and weirdly unpredictable. Even though most of the images follow a simple quadrant system, Refn puts plenty of subtle touches within the frame. Let’s take a look. For educational purposes only.

I'm not crazy about the movie, but it oozes style, from the outrun soundtrack to the mise-en-scène.
