    Director Nicolas Winding Refn's new movie, Drive, has elements of Grimm's Fairy Tales, John Hughes movies and even the Western, Shane. The Danish director shares the improbable story of his first meeting with the film's star, Ryan Gosling. He explores how music drives much of his filmmaking. Drive is based on the book by James Sallis.
