CANNES, France – Boos rang out at the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday for a blood-spattered revenge tale starring Ryan Gosling as a US fugitive running a Bangkok drugs racket and Kristin Scott Thomas as a cross between “Lady Macbeth and Donatella Versace.”

“Only God Forgives” left many in the auditorium wincing or unable to watch, although some lines sparked unintended laughter.

In one scene, Gosling’s character Julian tells his crime boss mother (Scott Thomas) that his brother Billy has raped and killed a 16-year-old girl.

“I’m sure he had his reasons,” Scott Thomas replies, unrecognisable in long blond wig, fake eyelashes and garish clothes. – Rappler.com
