>> It’s by far the most divisive film to have screened in competition at Cannes this year: before the end credits had even begun to roll, some audience members were already on their feet, yelling abuse at the screen. (It’s only fair to report there was also a phalanx of applauders, of which I was one.)

it makes me think a cannes film showing mustn't be too far from being like how indian cinemas are

>>Jesse, who’s actually 16 but is advised by her agent (Christina Hendricks) to say she’s 19 – because “18 is too on-the-nose” – begins the film as exactly the kind of ingenue the Los Angeles beauty industry feeds on. At her first professional shoot, a sleazy photographer (Desmond Harrington) "clears the set", strips her naked and douses her in golden paint to reflect her newly minted, covetable status.

lol what

>> "I love Hollywood, don’t get me wrong. I love it, I love it, I love it. But it’s important to really understand that Hollywood is like a really, really expensive prostitute. She’s going to promise you everything — you can f*** her in any possible way because she’s there for you. She wants your vision. And it’s very seductive: “Come in here, play with me, do whatever you want.” And then when you start f***ing her, it can potentially be like, “Hang on, I know I said it but I didn’t mean it. No you can’t do that, you can’t do that, you can’t do that.” And in the end, you’re like, “Well, where do I come?” And depending on your ability to perform, they’re going to determine how you’re going to come, and then that’s just a really terrifying journey. So I thought, well, I’ll just stay with my wife, knowing that we’ll have very, very satisfying sex, and then I can go do the films I want to make."

But I love working in Hollywood."

>REFN: It’s not easy to make these films, and I understand that you can’t make them based on your upbringing because there is so much money invested that you have to think about it more as a toy company. How do we maximize our profit because we’re investing so much? I completely think it’s logical and also I think it’s healthier going in with that attitude of: This is a job to execute, what is the best possible way to obtain the most upside? Doesn’t mean you can’t do a great job, doesn’t mean you can’t make a great movie. But it’s just important that you don’t kick yourself going into those things thinking it’s nothing other than this.

>You can have all the control at a $100 million budget, but then you have to make $500 million and that’s a much larger appeal. There’s things in my films that I couldn’t do if I wanted to appeal that largely. You may have the contractual control, but the money still controls you. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but again all those things I’ve learned over the years, those are the decisions you have to really deep down understand.

Based Refn telling it like it is

Why does everyone act so goddamn autistic at cannes?

I would go to one of these probably just once

the hooting and hollering is awesome. i wish more people would get this excited for films these days. seems the over-saturation of the medium kinda dulls audience reactions. if i want to watch a film quietly, i'd watch it at home, which i usually do for smaller indie pictures, or my local art house cinema - O Cinema in Wynwood in the house. i saw Star Wars and Jurassic World at South Beach Cinemas and the audience was dull as fuck. now i don't mean obnoxious talking over scenes or clapping at every moment, but a little audience reaction never hurt and can add atmosphere to viewing blockbuster type films.

>booed at Cannes

So does that mean it's just as good as OGF?

MWAAAAAAAAAHHHH

He says in the interview linked above

>Up until now, knock on wood, I’ve never had anything but a good Cannes experience. Drive became what it became (...) And then with Only God Forgives, the establishment went insane with hatred and all of the kids online loved it. So, it was like being the Sex Pistols of cinema.

If you judge the quality of a film by its reaction and take the contrarian route, sure.

looks like a better Black Swan

God forbid someone makes something edgy in the faggot millennial age.

how do they keep getting more people to screech at the top of their lungs when one loses their voice

>BASED!

He's one of us.

>You know what my mother used to call me? The Neon Demon.

Really Refn? Jesus Christ

does she do anal or show her puberty tits yet?

wew fashion is so edgy

haha, awesome. i dig the guy, quirks and all. seems he truly loves cinema and just wants to make great, uncompromising films. he may fail, but you gotta admire him for the effort. i wasn't fond of OGF. amazing cinematography, atmosphere, music, acting, and action sequences, but i didn't dig the storyline. i hope Neon Demon is a better film.

well, all the models are on blow and hot as fuck, so there's that.

Thanks for buying the eleventh one for me, user. When can you pick me up?

>mediocre
How isn't he great? Are you blind?

>before the end credits had even begun to roll, some audience members were already on their feet, yelling abuse at the screen.
And I thought americans are bad.

If I was blind I would think he's a great director.

Based Canadian critic Jason Gorber had a positive response. Dude has great taste, even if I am a bit biased.

European cinema is pure trash. Don't pay attention to this shit.

Did we trigger you with healthy sized women, my dear landwhale tumblrina?

>guy forgetting to introduce refn

Opposed to the rest of the trash? Most of what comes out either side of the atlantic are forgettable cash grabs.

Honestly can't wait to see her erect nipples covered with sparkly paint

i have no idea why i find her attractive. she's plain as fuck. but i do.

Your standards have continuously dropped.

probably. i've been jacking off to some pretty bad porn lately.

It's the whiteness.

Holy shit, Refn is autistic as fuck.

i'm more Aryan than she is. i still find her boring as shit. but hot. i dont get it. is likely right. i do like her style.

it's true, everyone pretty much agrees white is the most attractive.

inb4 kreeger shows up

Bravo refn

She's symmetrical, young, healthy, doesn't have a deformity and you have been taught that particular beauty standards.

this makes sense. thanks bro

how do i pronounce "cannes" fáms?

>voicing your discontentment with a movie is autism

t. autist

Kaahn.

What did he mean by this?

kay-nay-ayes

I wonder if he did it on purpose, or if he is just a "les incompetant". I laughed tho.

>these are reviewers people actually read

CANES?

Like BANES, but with a K hard sound.

So KAY-NS

>Chimping out at a film

Is this India?

>one retards review
>time to obsess about him
fuck off

What are you talking about? He is brilliant, and pleasant to listen to.
I have always found it hilarious how the upstanding social people who browse this board call him autistic. I mean kek, no self-awareness at all.

Calm your shit faggot, I like him too, I wouldn't have started to watch it otherwise.
Autist.

she still looks and sounds like a child to me. I don't mean to be elitist about it, I mean to each his own I guess, I just literally don't understand what guys find in her. I mean sure, there's this: but I guess I mean I don't get it on a primal/instinctual level..

she's talented and has a bubbly personality

>jena can you spit in her mouth
my sides hahahaha

Based Refn.

>she still looks and sounds like a child to me.
>I just literally don't understand what guys find in her

Hurr you answered your own fucking question numb-nuts

>dakota's coattail rider with fetal alcohol syndrome deformities

ftfy

she's more talented than Dakota

waddup bobblehead

Her voice and laugh are horrendous though. I'd still take her over her sister

what has Dakota even done that's worthwhile?

Not shitting on her or anything but Elle is just as successful or more, and stands on her own foot. I think you sound bitter.
