I’M THE ANGEL OF DEATH
AKA
PUSHER III

UK RELEASE OCTOBER 24TH - BFI LONDON FILM FESTIVAL

Nicolas Winding Refn’s Pusher trilogy began with his first feature in 1996. This year, he releases two sequels to the original With Blood on My Hands and I’m the Angel of Death.

Set at the very bottom of the Copenhagen underworld, the PUSHER series turns the idea of a trilogies on its head, each instalment more vigorous and complex, the stories takes a minor character and throw the audience into the depths of their psyche.

The third film I’M THE ANGEL OF DEATH AKA PUSHER III focuses on the trilogy’s original villain Milo.

Far from a thuggish brute, Milo first appears, he is now a henpecked, doting father, plagued by a demanding daughter Milena, her idiot fiancé and Milo’s listless henchmen. It doesn’t help when he poisons his flunkies with some poorly cooked samosas.

With no one left to help him, Milo is forced to deal simultaneously with business problems, the party and his Narcotics Anonymous meetings.

A classic black comedy, I’m the Angel of Death seduces its audience with its intense humour.

I’M THE ANGEL OF DEATH a.k.a. PUSHER III will premier at the BFI Times London Film Festival on the 24th October 2005.
