To say that Nicolas Winding Refn's Thailand-set crime-noir
Only God Forgives arrived last year to hugely polarising reactions would be an understatement -- it definitely didn't garner the same kind of consistent acclaim as his previous film,
Drive. In fact most Fatso customers hated it, if this sampling of reviews are anything to go by:
But if you're a fan of the film and/or the director, you'll want to check out this clip that breaks down all the special effects shots.
Love or hate him, you can't deny that Refn knows
exactly what he wants to see on-screen... down to blinking eyes....
I'll be the first person to say that CGI is overused these days, BUT when it's used as smart and subtly as this, it can be a brilliant tool to help you achieve a very specific artistic vision that doesn't involve cities getting decimated. Good stuff.
