Refn’s painfully visceral yet thought-provoking and well observed examination of male insecurities and anxieties – taking in violence, racism, cinephilia, and familial responsibility – vividly paints a portrait of the intertwining lives of six working class Copenhagen residents over a period of a couple of eventful (and uneventful) days.
