Copenhagen Cowboy is a thrill-inducing, neon-drenched noir series set across six episodes which follows enigmatic young heroine, Miu. After a lifetime of servitude and on the verge of a new beginning, she traverses the ominous landscape of Copenhagen’s criminal netherworld. Searching for justice and enacting vengeance, she encounters her nemesis, Rakel, as they embark on an odyssey through the natural and the supernatural. The past ultimately transforms and defines their future, as the two women discover they are not alone, they are many.

6 episodes of two people staring at rain soaked neon signs.

In the last 15 seconds of the final ep, one of them walks over and slaps the other.

Credits.

Man, this guy stretching out 17 minutes of content for a single movie is painful enough…

[Big Baller]

Does Kojima have a cameo

 

[juliushandle]

Drive was the last good thing this guy did. yes, I've seen everything after and hate them.

BTW, I love the Pusher Trilogy

 

[12Goblins]

I have that same backpack!

 

[DeafTourette]

Why do the fight scenes look like they're taken STRAIGHT from the Asian movie "Chocolat"?

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

this thread is bizarre

Refn is easily one of the best directors out there you retarded peasants

You just convinced me to give this show a try

 

[MudoSkills]

1000% in.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Totally in

Loved Drive and the neon demon

 

[mortal]

I'm ready for some more NWR weirdness, gratuitous violence, and characters with thousand yard stares.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Just realized Ryan would make a good Kaz if we ever get an MGS movie

He needs a scriptwriter though because he can’t write stories for shit. It’s all style over substance and by God the style is awesome and the soundtrack is always baller but imagine a movie that looks like a Refn movie and is actually good. Sign me up.

Only God Forgives, Neon Demon, visually striking but aggressively poorly written. Which sucks because the potential is clearly there.

It’s no wonder Refn and Kojima are best buds.

This.

Outstanding director. I mean amazing. But dude totally leans on his writers.

 

[GymWolf]

Ok now i understand why this dude is friend with kojima...

 

[The Cockatrice]

He seems like a cool guy but he has some weird directing decisions. Driver and Neon Demon are certainly his best work. Im sure he can pull something amazing again someday.

 

[vpance]

On Netflix now, just finished the first ep. Cool vibes and imagery as usual from NWR.

Subject matter is pretty dark but I'm interested to see the rest.

That is utterly laughable.

 

[Revolutionary]

This thread reminded me that Refn also made a show for Amazon Prime that I watched a few episodes and got bored of.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

I absolutely loved "too old to die young", hope this is in the same vein, will give a look, thanks OP !

 

[thefool]

First episode delivers. Tons of staring, top notch sound design, some bombass tracks and everyone is a shit human being.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

This has to be Netflix dream show.

Man are all evil, raping pigs, some literally communicate using pig screams.

Nice cinematography. Snail paced show.

edit: Finished the show. Crap. But the cameo at the end looks a lot like...

Spoiler: cameo

Kojima

 

[thefool]

This is max self-indulgent Refn. Comes with a ton of incoherent nonsensical shit, but it also looks and sounds so good.
There is nothing here as good as episode 5 of Too Old to Die Young but you can't go wrong with top tier aesthetics and the excessive panning.

 

[Valonquar]

Is it canceled yet?

 

[AJUMP23]

Cowboys are American. Copenhagen cultural appropriation.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

It's Refn. I'm In.

 

[vpance]

Kojima actually appears in this. lol

Finished it. Did not expect it to turn into GTA and Sifu halfway through which was cool. Cliffhanger ending was weird af but it was an interesting ride.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Had this on my list…but mentions of Kojima and random staring turned me off to it. I enjoy a good story, production, or movie…but the mention of Kojima makes me wanna throw myself off a bridge .

I wouldn't call this a good story but Kojima

Spoiler

presence is completely irrelevant. He's on for a couple of minutes and says a bunch of nonsensical shit.

Staring on the other hand,

Spoiler

there's a lot. And a ton of camera pans

I’ll probably fire it up just to see what it’s about.
