Film Preview: Only God Forgives

A bit behind the curve I know but for those who haven't seen the latest trailer for Nicholas Winding Refn's (Director of Drive) latest film Only God Forgives then it is embedded below for you to view.

The success of Drive and its subsequent snub at the Oscar's last year just re-inforced how much people loved the move so when it was announced over a year ago that Nicholas Winding Refn and Ryan Gosling were re-uniting for this project there was huge anticipation. Much of the plot was kept secret and even trailers have been hard to come by as an air of secrecy was kept over the film, after a teaser trailer was shown we now get a more comprehensive look at film which features Kristen Scott-Thomas as you've never seen her before:

The film is set in Bangkok with Ryan Gosling playing Julian who runs a kick boxing gym but is also a drug pusher who is sent to avenge the death of his brother by his mother played by Kristin Scott-Thomas. The trailer shows the film as being an incredibly violent, martial arts inspired movie but like Refn's previous work it has a real element of style about it, evocative imagery is always a key element to his films. My excitement for this film is huge.


The movie still doesn't have an official UK release date
