Drive, by Nicolas Winding Refn, is considered by several critics a neo-noir film, particularly in the way it explores the city of L.A., a known place for its noir tradition.This essay aims to analyze the way Drive focus on the urban landscape via the main character, and how the city, in its turn, reflects his journey, making The Driver a real hero.
