Apparently today I was meant to put my attention on man filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn.  Earlier today I shared a short video about his new film Only God Forgives, which included him giving a glimpse into his screenwriting strategies.  Later - synchronistically - I noticed that MUBI had added woman filmmaker Phie Ambo's documentary Gambler (2006), which chronicles Refn's attempts to rebound from bankruptcy, so I watched.  It's an intriguing look at financial repercussions of filmmaking when independently financed films tank at the box office.  It did not make me eager to watch his work.  Drive's the only one of his films I've seen.  I have a feeling it might stay that way for a while at least.  I hear reports that the new film is ultra violent and the violence is not particularly contextualized.  I thought the violence in Drive was a bit over the top... so I think I'll turn my attention elsewhere... somewhere more intellectually engaged.  Perhaps I'm missing out? I am, however, motivated to see more of documentarian Phie Ambo's creations.
