Nicolas Winding Refn’s Bleeder (1999) is a raw, unsettling Danish crime drama that arrived between Pusher and the director’s later international breakthrough with Drive. Starring Kim Bodnia and an early-career Mads Mikkelsen, the film explores loneliness, obsession, masculinity, and escalating violence through interconnected stories set on the fringes of Copenhagen. Refn reunited much of the cast from Pusher, but crafted a more intimate and character-driven work that has since become a cult favorite among fans of Scandinavian cinema.
This custom VHS edition features English subtitles, making one of Refn’s most sought-after early films accessible to a wider audience. A fascinating snapshot of both Danish genre filmmaking and the formative years of Mads Mikkelsen’s career, Bleeder remains a tense and uncompromising precursor to the themes and style Refn would continue to develop throughout his filmography.
