TF:
Some will hate Only God Forgives, and rightly, for its misogynistic leanings; but there can be no question, despite his irksome tendency towards pretension, that Refn is a whiz when it comes to stylistic control.
Shot by Larry Smith, Refn’s cinematographer on Fear X and Bronson (2008), and scored by Drive composer Cliff Martinez, it looks and sounds magnificent, perfectly conjuring the feel of backstreet Bangkok.
What it lacks is a moral core and characters who are more than just cipher
It’s no Drive, and even hardcore fans will struggle to love a film that’s as mad as a bag of prawn crackers, but as an exercise in style, it has many moments to savour.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
