It’s telling, and maybe also a little paradoxical, that of the huge array of Nordic talent assembled onstage at the Scandinavian tribute last week at the Marrakech Film Festival, the honor itself was accepted (on the delegation’s behalf) by Nicolas Winding Refn. Telling, because it shows just how sky-high the director’s profile is, despite, or maybe because of, the mixed reaction to this year’s “Only God Forgives,” the follow-up to his Cannes-busting “Drive.” A little paradoxical, because it really feels that Refn can be less and less associated with the region of his birth these days: his last truly Danish film was 2005’s “Pusher 3” and his ongoing association with Ryan Gosling, along with his interest in non-European settings and cultures, makes him feel more international-with-maybe-an-independent-American-edge than anything else. Still, we won’t complain as it gave us another chance to talk to the director, in a small group of press,...

Digital Spy was fortunate enough to score a sizeable amount of time in the company of acclaimed filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn in support of the DVD release of Only God Forgives. A thematically audacious and visually stunning movie, this twisted tale of Ryan Gosling's taciturn drugs dealer becoming embroiled with a vengeance-fuelled policeman called Chang has polarised audiences. But what is it really about? We probed its maker, before delving further into his career to explore the likes of Pusher and Bronson. As for the future, Bond, Beckham and Barbarella are all on the agenda...
Since its release, Only God Forgives has inspired many different interpretations. What's the weirdest one you've encountered so far?
"My favourite one is when a German woman at Cannes came up to me and said, 'I think this movie takes place in the vagina, yes?' I was like, 'Yeah, that's pretty spot on,...

Each week within this column we strive to pair the latest in theatrical releases to worthwhile titles currently available on Netflix Instant Watch. But this week, we pay tribute to the thoroughly thriller filmmakers whose next efforts are among our Most Anticipated Films of 2012!
From some of Tarantino’s early offerings, to the best of the Coen Brothers, to the genre experiments of Chan-wook, and the emerging talent of Winding Refn, we’ve got you covered with some seriously striking movies now available online.
Pictured below in his cameo role in the East meets West action-flick Sukiyaki Western Django—the ever-edgy American auter will take on a new brand of revenge narrative in 2012 with Django Unchained. Jamie Foxx stars as a slave-turned-bounty hunter on a bloody quest to save his wife from a menacing slave owner. Leonardo DiCaprio, Christopher Waltz, and Sacha Baron Cohen co-star.

While the concept of a Danish martial arts film sounds considerably less strange now than it did before the arrival of the excellent Fighter a few years back it's still surprising enough that it merits a mention.
Director Stefano Gonzalez and actor / co-producer David Sakurai (yes, I know, a very unlikely pair of Danish names) recently got together with Pusher 3 co-star Marinela Dekic (also not sounding like a Dane) to create a low budget short film titled Love Is Vengeance. Spun out from a comic book concept and intended as a tribute to Bruce Lee, those involved enjoyed the process enough that Gonzalez and Sakurai are now prepping a feature length martial arts affair titled The Elite.
Still in early development they plan to shoot an early test sequence / promo reel for the film in the very near future but those who want an idea of what's coming can...

Shaky Gonzalez's award winning "The Last Warrior" is being billed as a noteworthy tribute to the great PAsploitation flicks of the 1980s (read: anything by Enzo G. Castellari). It has a great cast in Marinela Dekic (Pusher 3), Erik Holmey (Conan The Barbarian) and introducing Maja Mae as a woman of the wastekland out for revenge.
There's scant info available on the film, but we've been given the film's official poster and a couple of stills to share. And luckily, the film is getting a release on the the Scandinavian "Wasteland Tales" DVD that streets tomorrow, so we'll have a review to you soon.
Check out some 80s Pa awesomeness after the break!
Head to Quiet Earth to see the stills.

The characters in Nicolas Winding Refn's films remind one of the famous tale of the scorpion and frog. They're trapped by compulsive behavior, often against their better natures. A small-time drug dealer in "Pusher" (1996), the director's breakthrough debut, seems to go further and further into debt the more he tries to pay back a brutal gangster. In "Pusher 3" (2005), that same brutal gangster, trying to find some normalcy in his middle age, is sucked into a whirlpool of harrowing violence. In "Bronson" (2008), real-life British prison inmate Charlie Bronson is constantly on the search for a fight, even though it only results in him becoming even more confined; he fights, therefore he is.
The characters in "Valhalla Rising," the director's new hallucinatory Viking epic, are no different. These warriors cannot shed themselves of the violence, madness and paranoia that define their world. The Danish director responsible for this brutal and...

What do you do if you're the producers of one of the biggest genre hits in your region's history? If you're the producers of Norwegian zombie comedy Dead Snow you bring back the whole crew that made that earlier effort so successful, pick another genre, recruit a few new faces - preferably specialists in the new playground - and you do it again, that's what!
Dead Snow producers Kjetil Omberg and Terje Stromstad are poised to release their latest effort, Tomme Tonner, on the world in January. And, yes, fans of Dead Snow, almost the entire cast have parts in the ensemble here - including an acting role for Dead Snow director Tommy Wirkola - with regional favorites Kim Bodnia (Pusher) and Kristoffer Joner (Next Door) taking the leads. And who's that standing behind Bodnia in the poster? Yep, that's Slavko Labovic, who will always be known as that guy...

A few new clips slipped by us right as last week ended at the holiday weekend began. Well, two of them slipped by, and I hedged on posting the clip from Survival of the Dead at first because it's fairly lousy, and that makes me sad. See all three (or whichever ones you choose) after the break. Up first is the clip from 2012, courtesy of MTV. If you thought for a moment that this movie might be less idiotic than all of Roland Emmerich's other movies, this clip should kill the doubt. But, there is something beautiful here. This is the clip that made me realize the awesome Zlatko Buric, who played the drug dealer Milo in all three Pusher films, is in 2012. (Here's the trailer for Pusher 3, which is the one that really features Buric.) He's the guy in this clip that leans up and helps John...

- Pusher 3 : I’M The Angel Of Death Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn returns with the third installment in his celebrated Pusher trilogy. Heroin peddler Milo encounters a series of violent setbacks over the span of 24 hours that threaten to cut off both his daughter’s 25th birthday celebrations and the breath in his lungs. Pusher 3 is in many ways the opposite of the relentless punishment that defined the start of this series. Much more meditative, P3 begins in relatively mundane fashion and builds to it’s inevitably (this Is Pusher after all) violent climax. The film’s legitimacy lies in the way it’s characters treat the mayhem that surrounds them with a matter-of-fact blandness, as though their dystopian existence is life’s only truth. P3 offers us a glimpse of a day in the life of these immensely interesting characters rather than suggesting their story
