The brand new trailer for writer/director Nicolas Winding Refn’s second collaboration with DRIVE lead Ryan Gosling has arrived. While it lacks the corse language and brutality we’ve previously seen in other trailers or clips, the intensity is certainly still there. ONLY GOD FORGIVES received a mixed response following its premiere at last months Cannes Film Festival, and while it’s going to be tough to top easily the best film of 2011, we’re eager to see more from the duo.
Julian (Gosling) lives in exile in Bangkok where he runs a Thai boxing club as a front for the family’s drugs smuggling operation. When Julian’s brother Billy is killed their mother, Jenna (Kristin Scott Thomas), arrives in the city. She wants revenge and forces Julian to find the killer. Julian’s contacts in the criminal underworld lead him directly to The Angel of Vengeance, a retired police officer (Vithaya Pansringarm) who knows everything and who is both Judge and Punisher. Jenna demands that Julian kill The Angel of Vengeance, an act that will cost him dearly.
ONLY GOD FORGIVES will hit US cinemas from 19th July, with the UK following on the 2nd August.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
