Nicholas Winding Refn

Interesting that I’ve never heard of it.

I am enjoying Copenhagen Cowboy. It is super dark and creepy.

It looks good. I’ve put it in my Netflix queue. Strange I’ve never heard of it.

I gotta say it really is unsettling though.

I watched both of Refn's "TV series" in one sitting. I mean, they're basically super long films cut into episodes. Just like Twin Peaks: The Return.

As long as I feel entertained, “unsettling” is fine.

Did you know she’s the director’s own daughter?

I could not substantiate that claim and I spent too much time searching 😅

Pretty sure I’ve been flagged by the internet police for that activity.

It’s a fact.

One more episode of CC left to see. Will report next week. 😎

Finished this & glad I watched it. Couldn’t understand at least a quarter of the plot, but, whatever. A lot of dark weird lighting for indoor scenes, which seems to be the soup of the day right now.

Some terrific acting. My favorite was the monstrous Serbian woman Rosella.

My favorite character and performance as well.

Same. The actress hasn’t done much, surprisingly. She’s pregnant you know. Not.

That made me chuckle

I already want to watch it again. I’m drawn to

Come again? Can’t hear you love.

After being enthralled with CC and wanting more, I decided to fire up Too Old To Die Young. First episode didn’t do much for me and Miles Teller is an odd fit. Just like his jeans.

Too Old To Die Young has the best car chase scene ever shot.

Just finished Copenhagen Cowboy. So that makes seven and a half of his films I've watched and his two series. I liked this one better than Too Old to Die Young. I just hope there's a season 2. TOtDY is classified as a miniseries and ended adequately. I don't think all that many people were interested in Yaritza's further adventures as the High Priestess of Death. But once you set up something like Miu/Rakel you need to follow through.

My hope is that he makes this at such a low cost, it gets made for cultural/critical impact versus the standard “views” calculus these series normally get judged on.

I much preferred TOTDY to C Cowboy. But that's just me.
