First three clips from Nicolas Winding Refn’s Only God Forgives with Ryan Gosling and Kristin Scott Thomas

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

If there’s one summer movie that is sure to get plenty of buzz but won’t be a huge box office draw it’s ONLY GOD FORGIVES. The film from DRIVE and BRONSON director Nicolas Winding Refn is going to premiere at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and to help build excitement for the film three clips have recently been released at Cine Republic and The Playlist.

The first clips for the film focus on the three main characters in the movie played by Ryan Gosling, Kristin Scott Thomas and Vithaya Pansringarm. We’ve had a glimpse of these scenes before in the red-band trailer and now you can see them in full. What can we learn from these clips? 1. If you’re in a bar and you see Ryan Gosling just run away, 2. Kristin Scott Thomas has a dirty mouth and clearly has some Oedipal issues, and 3. Vithaya Pansringarm always gets his man. Visually it’s what you’d expect from Nicolas Winding Refn with long shots containing no dialogue punctuated by a little bit of the old ultra-violence.
