"Drive" (2011) - Reviews and Postmodern Aspects

"Winner of the Best Director prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, “Drive” is a stylish film that doesn’t know what it wants to be. Is it a thriller? A romance? A heist film? All of the above? To be honest, I really don’t know. Though based on the novel of the same name by James Sallis, “Drive” has very little dialogue. The majority of the story is told through camera angles and a musical score that seems to have been composed in 1985." - (Section of the review by Mike Smith - LINK).

^ This review shows that the film could be considered as ‘genreless’ text (goes against Derrida’s theory) because it includes so many different conventions from different genres of films that it is no longer a hybrid of genres but has no genre because of the great number of influences/conventions included.
