The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 35: Only God Forgives and The Neon Demon
The Uncut Gems PodcastThe Uncut Gems Podcast is a show where a bunch of like-minded individuals gather around a virtual table to discuss films that for one reason or another have become forgotten. Tongues pressed firmly in cheek, the team don their film historian top hats and rant from sedentary positions to hopefully conclude whether the film in question deserves to be covered by sands of time or if it is a classic in dire need of attention.
In this episode of the show we are taking a long hard look at two films by Nicolas Winding Refn, Only God Forgives and The Neon Demon. Over the course of our long-winded and sprawling discussion we peek behind the curtain of style to find out what drives (lol) this filmmaker and what his movies are actually about. We slobber over their aesthetics and take apart their thematic aspirations one by one to find out what hides beneath the slick veneer of the pop arthouse cinema where Nicolas Winding Refn has built his resplendent abode.
