Trivia

Writer and director Nicolas Winding Refn got the idea for this movie while his wife was pregnant with their second daughter. He felt very existentialistic and felt he had much anger and violence in him, but did not know how to let it out. Suddenly, he had the idea that the definite person to hold all of the answers to existential questions and life's problems was God, and imagined himself having a physical fight with God. See more
