Cosmopolis morning! Last night’s coming attractions reels — trailers, really — at the Salle du Soixentieme were mostly a wash. The only standouts were (a) a violent clip from Nicholas Winding Refn‘s Only God Forgives, showing Ryan Gosling in some kind of posh Thai brothel walking over to two middle-aged Asian guys and kicking the tar out of them, and (b) blah master-teaches-student footage from Wong Kar Wai‘s The Grandmasters…nice lensing and luscious snowscapes but same-old-seen-it-all-before.
