NICOLAS WINDING REFN’S ONLY GOD FORGIVES

Bangkok. Ten years ago Julian killed a cop and went on the run. Now he manages a Thai boxing club as a front for a drugs operation. Respected in the criminal underworld, deep inside, he feels empty.

When JULIAN’s brother murders a prostitute the police call on retired cop Chang - the Angel of Vengeance. Chang allows the father to kill his daughter’s murderer, then ‘restores order’ by chopping off the man’s right hand.

Julian’s mother Jenna - the head of a powerful criminal organization - arrives in Bangkok to collect her son’s body. She dispatches Julian to find his killers and ‘raise hell’.

Increasingly obsessed with the Angel of Vengeance, Julian challenges him to a boxing match, hoping that by defeating him he might find spiritual release… but Chang triumphs. A furious Jenna plots revenge and the stage is set for a bloody journey through betrayal and vengeance towards a final confrontation and the possibility of redemption.

Nicolas Winding Refn, forty years-old, is born in Copenhagen, he directed his first full-length film, Pusher, in 1996, at the age of twenty-six. His first American full-length film Drive premiered in competition at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival where it won him the Best Director Award. Today, the Danish film director has become one of the most promising figures of international cinema. NWR has directed films all over the world, he can associate “mainstream” cinema to “intellectual” one and be able at the same time to be without concession, disturbing, always apt to shock and fascinate his audience. NWR involves himself a lot in this documentary. He told us about his work’s paradoxes and hidden sides, about his relationship with his family whom he seems to love deeply even if he may have depicted it in an ambiguous way. We have met NWR during the presentation of DRIVE in Cannes, we followed him back to Copenhagen and we’ll soon leave with him to Bangkok where he will direct his next movie ONLY GOD FORGIVES starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Ryan Gosling. The interviewees: Nicholas Refn / Ryan Gosling / Mads Mikkelsen / Liv Corfixen his wife / his family / Gaspar Noé / Alejandro Jodorowsky / the journalists Philippe Rouyer (Positif) , Cédric Delelée (Mad Movies) , Fausto Fasulo (Mad Movies) ….

Nicolas Winding Refn, 40 ans, né à Copenhague, a tourné son premier long-métrage, Pusher en 1996, à l’âge de 26 ans. Son premier long-métrage tourné à Hollywood Drive a remporté le Prix de la mise en la scène au Festival de Cannes 2011. Le cinéaste danois est désormais l’une des véritables promesses du cinéma international. NWR tourne dans le monde entier, il allie aussi bien le cinéma dit « populaire » que le ciné « intellectuel » mais toujours sans concession, dérangeant, apte à déplacer les spectateurs et à les passionner. NWR s’est beaucoup investi dans notre documentaire. Il nous parle de ses paradoxes et zones d’ombres sur son travail, comme son rapport avec sa famille qu’il semble aimer profondément mais qu’il a parfois pu dépeindre de façon ambiguë. Nous avons rencontré NWR lors de la présentation de DRIVE à Cannes, nous l’avons suivi chez lui à Copenhague où nous avons rencontré sa famille et ses plus proches collaborateurs, et bientôt à Bangkok, où NWR réalise son prochain long-métrage ONLY GOD FORGIVES avec Kristin Scott Thomas et Ryan Gosling.
