Spoilers follow for all six episodes of the Netflix seriesCopenhagen Cowboy.
And untilCopenhagen Cowboy, they were almost exclusively men.
Were so used to seeing that by men.
We wanted something completely removed from man.
How purposeful was that ambiguity?
Refn himself isnt sure.
(For their part, a Netflix rep confirmed to Vulture thatCopenhagen Cowboyis a limited series.)
One of the challenges with content is so much is created just to steal our time.
Its essential that you give an experience in exchange.
You may not like it; thats fine.
But it has to be an experience.
It has to be something that penetrates you and travels with you for the rest of your life.
Sometimes getting everything is not the right answer; its what stays with you.
The sense of Whats the perfect ending?
it can go both ways.
Mius journey: Object to subject.
(We didnt believe you were human … People around you die, Miroslav tells her.)
(Mius willingness to be confrontational was inspired by his daughters, Refn says.)
Final bosses: Leveling up Mius enemies.
Dragon Palace returns to Nicklas with a subplot about his white, blond, old-money vampiric Danish family.
Pigs recur throughoutCopenhagen Cowboybecause of their prominence in fairy tales and Danish culture.
(It was pretty intense shooting at these pig farms, Refn says.
It messes with your head, the noise.)
Youre a strange one, Chiang says, but he grows fascinated by Miu and her inscrutability.
The cliffhangers: Off to the Giants!
I dont know if my mother never finished the story or if I cant remember what happened.
And everyone was like, Oh, great, yeah, why not?
Refn describes with a laugh.
Enter Lizzielou as that miniature, whom Bundalovics Miu meets after defeating Chiang and returning to Copenhagens forested outskirts.
Theres thousands and thousands of her around the world, Refn explains.
The only line that any of them ever speak is Weve been waiting for you.
According to Kojimas unnamed character, Theres only one answer: You have to go see the Giants.
Refn laughs about that abruptness I was like,Im all out of ideas now.
What Refn describes as the origin story of Miumight continue if Netflix renews the series.
In Refns fairy tale, happily ever after isnt a guarantee.
