Next Year’s Films We’re Most Excited About (pt.1)

Only God Forgives
To be honest, the plot could be awful and we’d still be thrilled—Nicolas Winding Refn and Ryan Gosling back together again with stunning visuals and an affinity for violence! However, Refn’s follow-up to last year’s Drive looks to actually be an interesting Bangkok-set Thai boxing thriller about a man who lives in exile where he runs a boxing club as a front for his family’s drug smuggling operation.

According to a production synopsis, the film follows Julian, who runs a Thai boxing club as a front organization for his family’s drug smuggling operation, as he is forced by his mother Jenna to find and kill the individual responsible for his brother’s recent death. (wiki)

The Place Beyond the Pines
With his follow up to Blue Valentine, fearless director Derek Cianfrance delves into the theme of generational impact, taking you on an epic journey about fathers and sons and how one moment can change the entire course of your life and the lineage that follows. It’s sprawling triptych film that is as visually alluring as it is narratively complex.

Spring Breakers
Known for his boundary-pushing portrayals of the troubled psyche of America’s youth, comes Harmony Korine’s candy-coated nightmare tale of Spring Break’s recklessness and the darkness lying just beyond the edge of the sex-crazed, inhibriated haze of the party.
