Synopsis

Gambler is an entertaining documentary about film director Nicolas Winding Refn’s struggle to clear himself of a personal debt of DKK 5.5 million – to secure his family financially and help him get on with his life. Nicolas Winding Refn, noted for his debut cult movie Pusher from 1996, was forced to file for personal bankruptcy when Fear X became a box-office flop which left him DKK 5.5 million in the red. His only chance to wipe the slate clean and continue his career as filmmaker was to produce Pusher 2 and Pusher 3. –danishdocumentary.com

Very interesting look at director nicolas winding refn's near ruin after the financial disaster of 'Fear x'. In context of his recent successes with 'Drive', 'Bronson' and 'Valhalla Rising' quite sobering to see how precarious the filmmaking game is.
