‘Copenhagen Cowboy’ Trailer Invites You to Explore the Danish Underworld

The Nicolas Winding Refn-helmed series premieres on January 5. Even though acclaimed filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn is known for his characteristic use of neon lights across his productions, there’s a lot more to the projects of the Danish director once you decide to embark on a journey helmed by him. This is what the new trailer for his Netflix series, Copenhagen Cowboy, highlights. Set to premiere in early January, the six-episode story centers around a woman who dives into the criminal underworld of Denmark in search of revenge. The new Copenhagen Cowboy trailer promises to bring some frequent elements from Winding Refn’s body of work, including unusual imagery, unconventional themes, and a tinge of the supernatural. The trailer makes it clear that the series will chronicle a revenge tale, but the way it is told might challenge our notion of storytelling with unclear timelines, locations, and characters’ behaviors.
