Nicolas Winding Refnis a filmmaker who has attracted as much criticism as he has praise, but nothing he’s ever been involved with could be accused of being dull. Refn’s polarizing style of highly mannered, methodical neo-noir storytelling might not be for everyone, but it’s hard to argue that he doesn’t have an eye for craftsmanship and can make visually arresting sequences. The prestige era of television has seen more movie directors dip their toes into the medium, and Refn first attempted to make that transition with his divisive Prime Video neo-Western Too Old To Die Young. Although that show had production values as excellent as one might expect from Refn, it felt closer to a collection of experimental movies than a cohesive series. However, Refn’s now-forgotten Netflix series Copenhagen Cowboyis a wonderful modern noir with striking narrative and aesthetic choices.
