Kristin Scott Thomas

Continuing his sublimely minimalist collaboration with Ryan Gosling after the sharkskin-sleek Drive, Nicolas Winding Refn returned with his most controversial feature to date. A dangerous, exoticized mash-up of spirituality, Shakespeare, and hyper-violence, Only God Forgives is a blast of pure pulp.

Winner of four César Awards, this impassioned thriller from Guillaume Canet also has the distinction of being one of Michael Caine’s favorite films. Fueled by François Cluzet’s intense performance, Tell No One is equal parts electrifying and moving, crowned by a staggering foot chase through Paris.
