Why we chose it

Refn closes his trilogy with the only character who appears in all three parts, the ageing Serbian gangster played by Zlatko Burić. One packed day sees him cooking, fighting his addiction and taking delivery of the wrong drugs, and it makes for a powerful ending with some surprising Polish touches.

Synopsis

At a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, the gangster Milo admits he’s afraid of his daughter’s birthday. Milena turns twenty-five today, and he’s cooking for the whole party himself. On top of that, instead of the heroin he ordered he gets ten thousand ecstasy pills, and he has no idea who to sell them to. So he hands the job to a young dealer and goes back to the kitchen.
