Nicolas Winding Refn is launching his own streaming service
Based on his movies, Nicolas Winding Refn seems like a man with very particular tastes. Drive, for instance, seems like a straightforward car chase movie about a quiet guy in a cool jacket, but it’s more of an homage to retro European action flicks than it is an artsy take on The Fast And The Furious. For people hoping to get a deeper glimpse into some of the stuff that Refn likes, the filmmaker has decided to put together a streaming service of his very own that he’s billing as a “cultural expressway for the arts.” Housed at ByNWR.com, the site will feature a rotating selection of different kinds of movies from all over the world, with some coming from Refn’s personal collection and all curated by him and a “hand-picked cultural partner.”
