Copenhagen Cowboy
Nicolas Winding Refn’s second series (Drive) for streaming services. Prior to that, he released the iconic neo-noir Too Old to Die Young. The mysterious Miu (Angela Bundalovich) plans to take revenge on her sworn enemy and finds herself in the very center of the criminal world of Copenhagen. Everything was filmed in Refn style: a minimalist plot, familiar neon and aesthetic angles. “Cowboy from Copenhagen” was the director’s first homecoming in many years.
