Writer: Nicolas Winding Refn
Cast: Ryan Gosling, Kristin Scott Thomas, Vithaya Pansringarm
Julian, a drug-smuggler thriving in Bangkok's seedy underworld, is compelled by his mother to avenge the death of his brother.
If you though the film is about a Thai kick-boxer from the trailer, the joke is on you. It is difficult to interpret, but guess it is about Oedipus complex and the guilt that Julian is experiencing. Vithaya's character-could be a figment of Julian's imagination or not. Every shot is a visual treat and the violence is just poetic. Film was widely panned by the critics, but fuck them. It is an amazing watch even though nothing is certain about the plot. Several laugh out loud moments are there. Watch it in the right mood.
Rating: 5/5
