Synopsis:

Emerging Master Nicolas Winding Refn found himself drowning in debt after the box-office failure of 2003's Fear X, so he decided to produce two sequels to his cult hit Pusher. This documentary takes a painfully funny (and sometimes just painful) look at the treacherous balancing act between commerce and art.

Phie Ambo's documentary 'Gambler' follows Danish auteur movie maker Nicolas Winding Refn during and after the making of 'Pusher 2'. It makes the assertion that Refn's decision to follow up his hugely successful 'Pusher' from 1996, the highest-grossing Danish directorial debut movie ever, with two sequels is risky business; hence the title. In reality it is the the most secure career move available to Refn whose production company went bankrupt with box office disaster 'Fear X' in 2003. Although the soul of the trilogy is art-house, it has huge mainstream appeal.

Documentary about 'Drive' director Nicolas Winding Refn and his efforts to pay a 5.5 million crowns debt resulting from gambling addiction.
