The Films of Nicolas Winding Refn

This critical study engages with the films of the Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn, from his first feature Pusher (1996) up to and including Copenhagen Cowboy (2023).The book focuses on Refn's treatment of genre, gender and glamour and rejects simplistic readings of his work as 'macho' or misogynistic arguing instead that his films provide complex and layered representations of masculinity.
