Nicolas Winding Refn’s ‘Only God Forgives’ has been met with mixed reaction. The film was booed by attendees at Cannes Film Festival, has been largely derided by the Hollywood press for its unrelenting and gratuitous violence, but won the Official Competition at Sydney Film Festival. Our leading man? Ryan Gosling of course, who plays Julian, an American running a Thai Boxing club in neon-lit Bangkok – it goes without saying that he’s also involved in the city’s heavy-going criminal underworld. When Julian’s brother Billy is murdered, their mother Jenna (Kristin Scott Thomas) arrives in Bangkok to collect her son’s corpse. She then dispatches Julian to find his brother’s killers, which pits him against a terrifying cop named Chang.
