Only God Forgives: scorned by critics in Cannes

This is a story that may not see it coming. After having released a number of successful films, both at the box office and in terms of reviews, Nicolas Winding Refn presented Only God Forgives, his most recent film, starring Ryan Gosling (following Drive), which premiered at this year’s edition the Cannes Film Festival as part of the racetrack. What many hoped would be a premiere quality became a violent nightmare, or at least what every critic commented that saw the film at the festival.

Refn, the Ripper

For those unaware of the plot of the movie, Only God Forgives revolves around Julian (Gosling), a man who is forced to delve into the depths of the Mafia based in Hong Kong after his mother, Crystal (Kristin Scott Thomas), send it to avenge the death of his brother at the hands of this shadowy organization. No one is very good in these areas, as both Julian and his mother are members of other organizations dangerous, so they were not surprised when they have to face the powerful mafia with fists and stones.

If there is anything that can characterize to 2013 with respect to the movies, other than it’s the year of the biopic, is that many science fiction films ready to be released to the public, as well as Star Trek Into Darkness, Gravity, or Elysium. Exploring how popular this genre, it is not surprise that even independent studies want to have a slice of the profits it could generate a movie set in space that, for one reason or another, this is also an element of that other genre so popular : the horror. Although Apollo 18 tried to do this and failed terribly, director Sebastian Cordero decided encouraged to renew the mix, with Europa Report, new trailer released today.

That other Europa

Unlike its predecessor chaotic spatial suspense, Europa Report is collecting good reviews as Magnolia Pictures and Magnet Releasing did some test previews, and many web sites had the opportunity to see the film and also provide many extracts which are used by the new development, all overwhelmingly positive. Why we say that is amazing? Well, mainly because it is an independent film set in space, a topic that has been pretty spoiled recently, and is a breath of fresh air to see a great little sci-fi.

The director was behind the latest edition of the films that make up the series and is expected to return, or at least stop wasting Gore Verbinski railway budget and did Pirates of the Caribbean 5, his next project post- The Lone Ranger. However, none of these plans could come to fruition and then Walt Disney Pictures decided to find a new director for the sequel, and have three on the look for the role.

Mixing varied

Incredibly, these directors are not of those who think too important to engage in independent films, but one of them. The short list consists of Fredrik Bond (The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman), the magical duo of Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg (those behind the Academy Award-nominated Kon-Tiki), and Rupert Sanders (the infamous director of White and the Hunter.) The selection, made ​​official by Deadline, is definitely bizarre, since each has a particular style chosen, and not at all similar to what was seen watching on the family franchise.
