Cowboy de Copenhague

Un panóptico multicultural de matones y una vengadora virginal que aporta equilibrio. Hay un montón de impresionantes marcas registradas de Refn que no se desarrollan como uno quisiera o esperaría, sino como dicta su imaginación errante. Los tres primeros episodios ponen a prueba nuestra paciencia. Las historias moderadamente entretenidas de las mafias albanesa y china solo se interrumpen con interludios absurdos con una familia aristocrática danesa en un castillo. El cuarto episodio con un bienvenido traslado a Copenhague iniciado por los carniceros Miroslav y Dušan de Pusher, y de vuelta en el castillo también hay un chovinismo bizarro con refinado humor negro, en el que no falta el propio Refn. Con su metasimbolismo y el final insatisfactorio, la serie promete un cómic mañana. Si alguien les da dinero para eso. Me sorprendería. (28.01.2023)

I was cautiously enthusiastic for the first three episodes, enjoying the fact that for once Refn's poetics were serving a story that, while strange, was meaningful and grounded in reality. The three episodes that follow plummet into shit, if instead of 6 episodes it was maybe 10, I would have given up along the way. (06.01.2023)

Nicolas Winding Refn retraces his steps and through the mystical The Neon Demon, Only God Forgives, he makes his way back to Pusher. Copenhagen Cowboy follows Mia, a brothel madam pays her with a lucky coin (money brings good luck) to finally have a baby, only that she's stingy and won't give her the whole shebang. This sets in motion the bizarre wheels of an entire clockwork full of cheap girls, man-eating pigs and Asian and Eastern European gangsters. The popular Zlatko Burić also returns and his panhandling scene is chillingly creepy. Meta-commentaries, quotes from the masters to a fantastic soundtrack by Martinez & Julian Winding. Nothing for normal people :) (22.01.2023)
