Elvis hosts Danish writer-director Nicolas Winding Refn (Pusher, Fear X) to talk about his new film, Bronson. The film is loosely based on the life of Charles Bronson, considered to be Britain's most violent criminal.

Refn explains how his films exorcize his dark side, his appreciation of the power of art after seeing The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, his initial rejection of Tom Hardy for the lead in Bronson, and how colorblindness and dyslexia has affected his filmmaking.
