Dir: Nicolas Winding Refn
Director Nicolas Winding Refn reunites with his DRIVE star Ryan Gosling, who plays amoral Bangkok drug smuggler Julian in this stylish - and bloody - crime thriller. After Julian’s brother is murdered in retaliation for a killing, his controlling, mob-boss mother (Kristin Scott Thomas) sets him on a path of vengeance. “It is ultraviolent, creepy and scary, an enriched-uranium cake of pulp, with a neon sheen... Every scene, every frame, is executed with pure formal brilliance.” - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian.
