Set to have its premiere at the Venice Film Festival this Friday is the latest six-part miniseries from director Nicolas Winding Refn with Copenhagen Cowboy. A dark, moody and suitably brooding tale of crime and retribution, we get to sample some of this in the first trailer now online as of the weekend.
Copenhagen Cowboy is a thrill-inducing, neon-drenched noir series set across six episodes which follows enigmatic young heroine, Miu. After a lifetime of servitude and on the verge of a new beginning, she traverses the ominous landscape of Copenhagen’s criminal netherworld. Searching for justice and enacting vengeance, she encounters her nemesis, Rakel, as they embark on an odyssey through the natural and the supernatural. The past ultimately transforms and defines their future, as the two women discover they are not alone, they are many.
The series stars Angela Bundalovic opposite Lola Corfixen, along with Zlatko Buric, Andreas Lykke Jørgensen, Jason Hendil-Forssell, LiIi Zhang and Dragana Milutinovic. Refn produced the series next to Lene Børglum and Christina Bostofte Erritzøe, and wrote with Sara Isabella Jönsson and Johanne Algren.
