Cannes 2013: Only God Forgives – first look review - The Guardian -- Front Page

Peter Bradshaw — Tue, 21 May 2013 18:30:00 GMT

Ryan Gosling and Nicolas Winding Refn re-team for an emotionally breathtaking, aesthetically brilliant and immensely violent thriller set amongst US expatriates in Bangkok It may not win the Palme D'Or, but it could win the Walkout D'Or, a gold trophy of a cinema-seat banged up into the upright position. Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives is a glitteringly strange, mesmeric and mad film set among American criminal expatriates in Bangkok. It is ultraviolent, creepy and scary, an enriched-uranium cake of pulp, with a neon sheen. The first scenes made me think that Wong Kar-wai had made a new film called In the Mood for Fear or In the Mood for Hate. Ryan Gosling plays Julian, the co-owner of a Muay Thai boxing club with his brother Billy (Tom Burke): an operation which is a front for selling drugs.

Miriam Elder — Mon, 20 May 2013 18:30:00 GMT

Russian tycoon accused of 'hooliganism motivated by political hatred' after punching businessman during filming of chatshow The Russian tycoon Alexander Lebedev fears that a Moscow court will hand down a guilty verdict in his trial on hooliganism charges despite the fact that the case appears to be falling apart. Only two prosecution witnesses appeared at a court hearing on Monday, where Lebedev pleaded not guilty to charges of battery and "hooliganism motivated by political hatred" for punching a fellow businessman during the filming of a television show in 2011. The prosecution had called more than a dozen witnesses, but most refused to show up. The recipient of the punch, Sergei Polonsky, a disgraced property magnate, has not lived in Russia for many months and has not attended a single court hearing. Earlier this year he spent time in a Cambodian prison for allegedly assaulting a group of local boatmen. He is now believed to be in Europe or Israel. Lebedev insists the trial is ...
