Indiewire has found a beautiful French poster for Nicolas Winding Refn’s Only God Forgives. This image features a brooding Ryan Gsling and suits the French market to a tee.
The film follows Julian, who runs a Thai boxing club as a front for his family’s drug smuggling operation, and who is forced by his mother Jenna to find and kill the individual responsible for his brother’s recent death.
Gosling reteams with his Drive director, with Kristin Scott Thomas and Vithaya Pansringarm supporting.
Only God Forgives is out in the US on July 19th, with no Irish date as of yet.
