American Julian and his family run a drug business in Bangkok. One evening, his brother Billy beats a prostitute to death. A local police chief encourages the victim's father to kill Billy. Afterwards, he punishes the father for letting his daughter sell herself. The brothers' mother arrives in the city, raging with grief, twisted and dangerous. She orders Julian to take revenge. Only God Forgives is an extremely stylized and ambitious film, where Winding Refn meditates on the nature of violence, borrows from Greek myths and mixes it with high humidity and Verner Panton's color chart.
