A new poster for the Nicolas Refn film Only God Forgives has been released, and it sets up the tone of the film quite nicely. The synopsis is as follows: ” 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 (Kristen 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 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.”
The noir nature of the film is on full display in the poster, with its moody lighting and the blood-red coloring. Very little is known about the film, except for the fact it stars Ryan Gosling, so this is all we have to go on. But it definitely looks like it has the potential to be a breathtaking experience, if the feel of the poster translates to the screen.
