Nicolas Winding Refn is one of my favorite directors. The Danish born director has quite the resume. He is mostly known for making the hit film 'Drive' with Ryan Gosling, but has also made 'Valhalla Rising', 'Bronson', and the recent 'Only God Forgives', which also s tarred Gosling. Refn is also a big advocate for the cult horror film genre. He can be seen on numerous Blu-ray extras, discussing his love for that particular brand of cinema. Not only is he a great director, but he is also a big fan of movies. After the success of 'Drive', Refn was struggling with what project he wanted to tackle next. After a few projects that didn't come to fruition and talking with iconic cult director Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo) on what to do next, Refn decided to make 'Only God Forgives', a film that wouldn't necessarily be a commercial success, but might be just the artistic and bloody film that Refn wanted to make with the hopes that his audience would love it. Despite the film's magnificent visuals, 'Only God Forgives' was not met well by critics and the general public, when compared to his previous work. This short hour-long documentary gives us a glimpse at the making of 'Only God Forgives' from start to finish. In order to continue to keep his family together and happy, Refn had his wife and two young daughters accompany him to Thailand for the duration of the shoot, where his wife Liv documented their life during production. It reminded me when Stanley Kubrick's daughter Vivian shot a documentary on the set of 'The Shining', displaying Kubrick's work and family life. The interesting thing here is that Refn himself is never sure about himself or the project he has chosen to do, and is very self conscience on every move he makes. You can tell it was a very difficult shoot for him. We also get a behind the scenes look at some of the heavier action scenes in the film and how each shot had to be perfectly timed and executed. In an interesting scene, we see Gosling and Refn headed about two hours away from the city to host a screening of 'Drive' in lieu of some cash, which they needed for their film. It all seemed very mafia esque as the actual cash was delivered in a briefcase and there was some thought that they would be robbed on their way back to the city. Refn is an unrelenting director and is one of the few filmmakers who will not let studio execs or any other producer get in his way of what he wants to convey on screen, no matter if an audience will like it or how successful it will be. He's in the business for art and entertainment, not for money or success, and I salute him for that. 'My Life Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn' is in fact made by his wife Liv, but is an excellent look at the behind the scene of Refn's most recent film and his family life. I suggest all of you give this a look.

'MY LIFE DIRECTED BY NICOLAS WINDING REFN': Four and a Half Stars (Out of Five) Documentary film about the making of the controversial 2013 crime drama flick 'ONLY GOD FORGIVES'; which was written and directed by Nicols Winding Refn. It was directed and filmed by first time feature filmmaker Liv Corfixen; Refn's wife. It features appearances by Refn, Corfixen, their two daughters, Ryan Gosling (the star of 'ONLY GOD FORGIVES' and 'DRIVE'; which was also helmed by Refn) and another equally popular cult filmmaker; Alejandro Jodorowsky. Refn previously appeared in the 2013 documentary film 'JODOROWSKY'S DUNE'; which was about Jodorowksy's failed attempts to make his own ambitious version of the popular science fiction novel 'Dune'. I found this documentary feature to be extremely insightful, oddly interesting and equally emotionally involving. The film takes place during the six-month shoot of 'ONLY GOD FORGIVES', in Bangkok, from the beginning of the filming process till it's premier; at the Cannes Film Festival. Corfixen follows her husband around (with a camera) as he obsessively contemplates every individual step, and unique decision, of the making of that critically polarized film. Refn constantly questions whether the movie will be good enough, and if it's unique and different enough; from his universally praised 2011 masterpiece 'DRIVE'. Corfixen also talks to Gosling, Jodorowsky and their two kids about what they think of Refn and his insane filmmaking process. The movie really delves deep into how the success of 'DRIVE' has caused Refn just as much stress, and self doubt, as it has joy. He constantly compares his new film to his last (very popular) feature. It does a great job of showing the madness that critical praise, and Box Office success, can cause a skilled and talented filmmaker; such as Refn. The documentary is only 60 minutes long and, while it could have been just a special feature on the 'ONLY GOD FORGIVES' video release, I think the short running length makes it that much more enjoyable. We see just enough of Refn's life, during the filming of that movie, to get a good feel and understanding of the mental state he was in. I actually like 'ONLY GOD GORGIVES' better than 'DRIVE' and I think this is a unique masterpiece, in its own right, too. Seeing how mentally unstable Refn was (during the making of this documentary) actually makes me feel like I'm not as crazy as I sometimes think I am; or at least I'm not alone in my obsessive mental illness!

Greetings again from the darkness. For those of us born without the "creative" gene, it can be quite intriguing to get even a quick peek behind the curtain of an at-work auteur or creative genius. Blend in the highly stressful family dynamics of having one's spouse behind the camera for this peek, and it shoots right past intriguing and into the realm of captivatingly mandatory viewing and provides double meaning to the title. Nicolas Winding Refn is the creative force behind such films as Drive (2011) and Bronson (2008). Now elevated from his status as cult-favorite, this behind-the-scenes documentary explores his pressure and anxiety of the next project (Only God Forgives) – one the director proclaims "is not Drive 2". While that is more than sufficient for a premise, this one adds the unique complexity of having NWR's wife direct and shoot the documentary. Because of this, we gain a highly unusual look at the added stress of personal and family life, as the whole family (including their two daughters) spends six months in Bangkok. The film begins with an odd sequence showing legendary director Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo) reading tarot cards at the request of NWR. The resulting advice is that success can change an artist's approach, and in a quite off-setting moment, Mr Jodorowsky directly addresses Liv Corfixen (as she films) and admonishes her to support her man. This certainly sets the stage for the relationship strains during production and up to the Cannes premiere of Only God Forgives. "How to make a movie" is not the focus here, though we do see the storyboarding and some director-actor interactions (Ryan Gosling, Kristin Scott Thomas). Rather, the camera lens is aimed at what impact making a movie has on the director and his family. He struggles with "what the audience wants" (more Drive) versus "what the artist wants". A key line from NWR is "It would be boring if we all made the same films". And therein lies the motivation and challenge for a true auteur – how to remain true to one's artistic vision, while still remaining commercially viable (a requirement if one wishes to continue creating). Ms. Corfixen doesn't shy away from filming the many moods and insecurities of her husband sometimes filming him in bed, hinting that remaining there might be an option. We see the confidence of the director on set, but more interestingly, his ups and downs, and his various happy-depressed-angry moments while in the privacy of the family apartment (well as private as it can get with a camera in one's face). Being a film director is an odd combination of processes – both collaborative and solitary. Having one's family along for the ride brings an added challenge that taxes one's patience. Performing all of this with one's spouse filming most of it exposes parts of one's character and make-up that most of us would prefer stay hidden from public consumption. Upon reflection, maybe it is an effective starter kit for "how to make a movie".

My Life Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn (2014) *** (out of 4) Liv Corfixen wrote and directed this documentary that clocks in under a hour and features the making of her husband's ONLY GOD FORGIVES. We basically get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film as well as the tole that it takes on that film's writer-director Nicolas Winding Refn who of course is the husband of Corfixen. I wasn't a huge fan of ONLY GOD FORGIVES and thought it to be a rather bland movie compared to the masterpiece DRIVE. It's funny but there are several scenes here where we see Refn nervous about how people would react to this film. For fans of that film you're really going to enjoy this documentary but even if you didn't care for ONLY GOD FORGIVES you should still really enjoy this. I thought it was fascinating seeing the impact of filmmaking and how much drama there is for the filmmaker. I thought the film was extremely good at showing how much pressure there is as well as seeing what other types of things are going on thru the mind's of filmmakers. Of course, this here is a family affair because we not only get to see the director working but we also see him dealing with his wife and their two young children. Ryan Gosling also plays an important part here as we see him prepare for the film. Alejandro Jodorowsky is also here, which will have his fans happy.
