PLOT Miu (Bundalovic), an enigmatic young woman — with a possibly supernatural past — is hired by a brothel madam as a good-luck charm. But Miu seems to be looking for some kind of vengeance; her journey leads her through the murky criminal underworld of Copenhagen.
IT MAY MARK his first project back in his home country of Denmark in two decades, but Nicolas Winding Refn is still, emphatically, Nicolas Winding Refn-ing. The hallmarks he established on films like Drive and The Neon Demon are all on show in Copenhagen Cowboy: garish colours, exaggerated dialogue, a moodily electronic Cliff Martinez score, stunning art direction, ultraviolence, an icily cool protagonist who says next to nothing and emotes even less — and neon. Lots of neon.
