I don’t know about you, but I’m excited as hell for ONLY GOD FORGIVES, the next directorial feature from Nicolas Winding Refn (DRIVE, BRONSON). I have yet to see a weak movie from Refn and it doesn’t seem like this one is going to be the one. If you’re anything like me, this new batch of images, including two tiny set pics courtesy of Empire, should be to your liking. Check’em out below.
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’.
ONLY GOD FORGIVES stars Ryan Gosling, Kristen Scott Thomas and Taiwanese popstar Yayaying (below).
