♪ I’m giving you a night call to tell you how I feel I want to drive you through the night, down the hills I’m gonna tell you something you don’t want to hear I’m gonna show you where it’s dark, but have no fear ♪

“I’d secretly had this feeling I wanted the film not to be about driving fast or stunts but about a guy driving round listening to music because that’s the only way he could feel. That wasn’t in the script but that’s what Nicolas felt, too. We both connected to the idea that driving can be an existential experience and you can put your persona and identity aside because you’re not really being watched. We were both interested in using the car as a vehicle to take you into the driver’s subconscious.”
