Few crime trilogies hit with the raw, bone-deep impact of Nicolas Winding Refn’s Pusher films. Gritty, uncompromising and steeped in the sweat and paranoia of Copenhagen’s criminal underbelly, the trilogy not only announced Refn as a fearless new voice in European cinema but also introduced the world to a ferocious, star-making performance from Mads Mikkelsen. Now, decades after Pusher, Pusher II and Pusher III carved their place in modern cult cinema, Second Sight Films brings the entire trilogy together in a definitive 4K UHD and Blu-ray release — a lovingly restored set that does full justice to their bruising power and enduring legacy.

Gambler: feature-length documentary
Danish director Poul Nyrup’s 1960s trilogy of youth films in new 4K restorations: Mellem Venner, Call Girl Centralen "Villa Vennely” and Stenbroens "Helte". Sharing a kinship with the Pusher trilogy in their uncompromising depiction of marginalised lives, Nicolas Winding Refn dedicated Pusher III to the director.
Why This Release Matters
The Pusher trilogy is more than a crime saga — it’s a raw, defining statement of modern European cinema. Long underserved on home media, these films’ influence has endured despite inconsistent availability and presentation. This Second Sight Films release finally does them justice, restoring their gritty immediacy while preserving their rough-edged intensity. More than an upgrade, it cements Pusher’s place as essential crime cinema — a definitive set for cinephiles, Refn fans and Mads Mikkelsen devotees alike.
