I agree with the praise for this "series" of fabulous films. I watched them back to back and wanted more. I'll catch my breath and watch them again.I watched "Pusher" (the first) several times and saw deeper, nuanced character in all the actors, especially "Frankie". He is entirely a reprehensible character deserving of little sympathy, yet in the final scene so realistically conveys the despair of a completely isolated, devastated person. How can any observer who presumes to stand in judgement of him withhold pity? Magnificent acting. And directing. Ultimately, in my opinion, all the characters are as finely drawn.
Delicious film making in all respects. Although not as epic or ambitious in proportion, these three together are of the stature of the "Godfather" triad.
May I say that one's enjoyment of all the films is enhanced by watching the "Special Feature" documentary recounting the production difficulties from the first which resulted in the making of second and third?
A small correction: The character's name is "Milo", not "Milos".
