W in d in g Refn in N ew York)
aking do w n N ic o la s
(Or: Sh By Horatio Weisfeld,
Gaka77@aol.com

My buddy Danny is hardcore Brooklyn - not easily impressed.

“You see Valhalla Rising?” he asked. “That was some sick
shit.” Valhalla Rising? What the hell was that? I’m the guy who
brings the goods to Danny, not the other way around. I got
home, checked IMDB, saw that the box featured a guy hold-
ing a bloody sword and acquired the fucker immediately. The
story seemed to the point. This one- eyed Norse barbarian
hacks and stabs and cuts the heads off local clan chiefs who
had imprisoned him as a tournament fighter. Later he gets
mixed up with crusading Viking types, which leads to yet more
trouble.

One thing I couldn’t get straight were the weird visions the
dude kept having throughout the story, so I went to my buddy
Pedro, a longtime Conan (The Barbarian) fanatic who manages
the lobby in my mother’s apartment building. He explained the
riddle of Valhalla Rising during his cigarette break: the Norse
guy’s got precognition like some Wall Street quant could only
dream about. Wow! So now I knew: the movie is like Robert E.
Howard mashed up with Werner Herzog’s The Wrath of God,
Alex Nino and Motorhead. Dig it? Maybe?

Okay, anybody who knows me knows I’m obsessed with films

and film directors – so now I had the rush on: who was this
guy who made Valhalla Rising, this Nicolas Winding Refn?
IMDB said he directed the three Pusher movies. Shit. I remem-
ber they were showing the first Pusher flick in New York way
back in… the stone age (the year 1996). I didn’t bother to see

Pusher for some reason, despite it having been written up for

possessing what are for me the two most important ingredients
in any motion picture: 1) Graceful filmmaking ; 2) Generous
servings of horrific violence.

So with Valhalla Rising now having turned me into a slavering

Nicolas Winding Refn beast, I collected all three Pushers faster
than you could spit, and this time there was nothing supernat-
ural, Zen or otherwise spiritual to be seen; no sense of univer-
sal order beyond endless waves of cruel and bloody havoc.

Pusher 1 goes like this: some dude manages his bread and but-
ter street drug dealing like another person might run a small
entrepreneurship of any other sort: sometimes you get your
product for a little less, sometimes a little more. If one of the
users comes to owe too much, you gotta threaten to break his
face; and if one day you decide you’re sick of the game and try
a big score, borrowing a bunch of drugs, intending to pay for
them later out of your first sale, and something goes wrong
– THAT’S YOUR ASS. You are sucked into a skull smashing
battle for survival. Hour by hour and then minute to minute.
Your number is up. You lose.

FOR HE WHO INSULTS YOUR

SENSEI INSULTS YOU!

WILL YOU LET ANOTHER INSULT

WHERE I SLAYED THOUSANDS OF WARRIORS, TO GO UNAVENGED? AT THE
THEIR BODIES PILED SO HIGH I AFTERWARD BATTLE OF YOSU-RI...
CLIMBED THEM TO REACH THE MOON!

!?

YOU ARE A TRUE

KAMIKAZE, TENGU, ...I NOT ONLY GAVE THE DEATH
CONSTANTLY PRODUCING OF A THOUSAND CUTS
“DIVINE WIND”! TO A HUNDRED WARRIORS FOR
A FRACTION OF HIS INSULTS...

RK HARBOR, NECROPOLIS

SINCE I DON’T REMEMBER

THE BATTLE, IT CAN SCARCELY
HAVE BEEN OF ANY GREAT
CONSEQUENCE.

THE WOLF REMEMBERS

NOT THE BITE OF THE TICK
AS HE CONTEMPTUOUSLY
SCRATCHES IT AWAY.

AND YOU HAVE MUCH

IN COMMON WITH
A TICK, THOUGH
YOU ARE SMALLER
AND LOUDER.

USE THE SWORD THRUST

OF THE STINGING SCORPION
WHICH I PERFECTED AT
THE BATTLE OF HONSHU!

WHO’S RUNNING THE SHOW

HERE? THE ORGAN-GRINDER
OR THE MONKEY?

I AM THE ORGAN
GRINDER. I AM HE
WHO WILL GRIND YOUR
ORGANS TO PULP.

...BUT I LIKEWISE DISPATCHED

THEIR MOTHERS, FATHERS,
CHILDREN, CONCUBINES, CATS,
DOGS AND GRANDPARENTS!

TENGU!

SO IT’S TRUE...
THEY SAID I’D FIND
TENGU HERE.

ARE NOW ABOUT TO DESCRIBE IN

BUT IF I COULD ASK YOU BOTH

TO PERHAPS EXCHANGE MEMOIRS
LATER, SO THE SAMURAI AND I
MAY CONCENTRATE ON

YES, FASCINATING

NOW, REQUIEM, FIRE

UP YOUR BLADE WITH
RIGHTEOUS FURY.

YOU WILL FIGHT SUCH A BATTLE WITH THE

SAMURAI AS WILL BE SPOKEN OF FOR
CENTURIES OF SIN. BALLADS WILL BE
SUNG TO MY TRAINING SKILL.

I DARESAY YOU WILL GET A

WILL BE ME THEY SPEAK OF.

TAKE THE HEAD OF THE

SAMURAI AND THAT
BOASTFUL LITTLE

I NEVER BOAST LIKE HIM. GREAT

SHEATHED LIKE GOLDEN ARROWS,

LORD CRYPTO’S TENGU’S ALSO.
STOP THE FIGHT
YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE FEED. WHILE THEY FEED.
GREATEST WARRIOR OF ALL
TIME, CRYPTOS! AT THE BATTLE
OF KAMAKURA, I TOOK SEVEN
ARROWS TO THE HEAD AND
MERELY PULLED THEM OUT AND
SPAT THEM BACK AT THOSE WHO
SHOT THEM!

I THOUGHT BLOOD WAS

TOO RICH FOR HIM?

IT IS DILUTED WITH
SQUEEZED GHOULS’
GONADS’ JUICE MIXED
WITH A LITTLE SULPHUR
AND BRIMSTONE.

I FIND MINE SLEEPS SOUNDLY AFTER

I THINK YOUR MEMORY IS A BOTTLE OF RABID WERWOLF SALIVA
FAULTY WITH YOUNG AGE, AND MILK FROM A LACTATING LEPER.
TENGU! YOU TOOK SEVEN
ARROWS RUNNING AWAY.
I KNOW, FOR IT WAS I WHO
SHOT THEM... EVEN AGAINST THE
WIND, I COULD NOT MISS SUCH
A TARGET AS YOUR FAT ARSE
FLEEING THE FIGHT.

IF YOU WANT MY ADVICE, REQUIEM,

I THINK IT’S TIME YOU FORGET THIS
REBECCA. SHE SEEMS TO HAVE YES. THAT’S WHAT
BROUGHT YOU NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. I TOLD HIM ON THE
MOON.

DITCH THE
BITCH.

MUCH AS IT PAINS
ME TO AGREE
WITH CRYPTOS,
HE’S RIGHT.

I’VE ALWAYS KEPT

DRAGON AWAY FROM
WOMEN BECAUSE HE
COULD BE DISTRACTED
BY THOUGHTS OF THEIR
CREAMY WHITE BREASTS,
AND BOTTOMS LIKE
PRIME PEACHES.

BURP!
BURP!  BURP!
BURP!

WHEN INSTEAD, HE HAS

THE GREATER PLEASURE OF
LISTENING TO MY
WISDOM, WASHING ME,
FEEDING ME AND ATTENDING
