The Avenging Silence sounds like a great opportunity for self-indulgence, but maybe Refn can find the right mix of style and self-control here and create something memorable again.
The Avenging Silence doesn’t have a release date yet.
On the other hand, Refn’s track record is spotty enough that you have to wonder what kind of mess an ambitious-sounding project like The Avenging Silence could turn out to be.
The more Refn indulges himself, as with his Drive follow-ups Only God Forgives and The Neon Demon, the less-well-received his films tend to be.
