I've heard it's a borderline horror film. With some vampiric cannibal bullshit or something. Yikes. Sounds a bit like Black Swan.
Winding Refn has a great talent for filmmaking, but I think Drive has been his only real home run so far. For all the silence and tension, there was enough catharsis and release; for all the alienated, singular perspective there was plenty of emotion. It worked. Only God Forgives was just plain painful, though still good enough. I don't know if I have it in me for another glacial pace tension movie, this time without Gosling and (ugh) about the fashion industry. Someone tell me if it's worth my time.
