Those last 30 minutes

>those last 30 minutes

that was actually terrible

Thanks for your review

ur welcome, dnt watch it

The film is sex.

Is it worth watching if I loved Drive but despised OGF? It looks like OGFesque thing

Jesse gets eaten by her model friends and they bath in her blood, there now u dnt have to watch this TRASH

If you hated OGF you're probably going to hate this as well.

In a way, this film is a perfect example of form following function. What better way to show how empty and perverse the model scene in Los Angeles is, than to make an empty and perverse movie about it? If Nicolas Winding Refn wanted to make this point, he has made it loud and clear.

But the question is: did he really want to make this point? Or did he just want to take his cinematographic capabilities one step further, by taking the visual aesthetics to the limit, without bothering about the rest? 'The Neon Demon' is visually stunning, but lacks substance. The story about a 16 year old model being literally devoured by the fashion industry, is nothing more than a vehicle for the visual exuberance of the film. It is like a 'Vogue' magazine: there are many pages, but they are all filled with glamorous pictures, and very little text. You can browse through it, but it doesn't have a message, other than an endless display of beauty.

To accentuate the perversion of it all, Winding Refn had added some horror elements, which almost seem ridiculous, especially at the end of the film. There's also an irritating and very prominent soundtrack. The acting is mostly unnatural and pretentious. But if you like browsing the latest edition of Vogue magazine, perhaps this is the film for you.

bad pasta

It's worth watching for the soundtrack and the visuals alone

the ending was the best part of the movie. I didn't see it coming at all.

There you go faggots :^)
Save you watching a SHIT movie.

>Being this much of a faggot even ironically
kill your self you gay nerd

It's inconceivable to me how anyone can think this is a good film.

They kill the only character you kind of start caring about, that's why. Movie's really nice to look at, though.

Name some films you like

The Martian, Fight Club, Inherent Vice, Guardians of Galaxy, the list goes on

>has shit taste
>gets upset and posts memes under my trip
Lol, faggot

>redditor thinks using a name is a trip
Indeed you're an idiot who can't see Refn's brilliance

are you dumb

lol, the irony

It's kinda like Only God Forgives, but even shittier.
On the other hand you have Keanu Reeves making some scenes enjoyable.

Style = Substance

What Refn understands is that movies don't have to take a backseat to the plot. Movies are visual, therefore the visuals take precedence before what is actually going on. It's perfectly acceptable for the plot to not be special so long as the way it's presented is special. The notion that movies need to conform to the cookie cutter template that is usually present in most movies is retarded. It's easy to trivialize this style of film because of how easy it is to emulate, but Neon Demon definitely pulls it off.

>Refn have art ambitions–a strange sense of fun. But how can film culture progress with fantasies like this? There’s no shock or outrage left. Refn relies upon a level of menace (unerotic, non-provocative) that precludes caring about or responding to violence, vulnerability, mortality. This is cinema for unsophisticated viewers who don’t already know Bunuel’s eye-slashing, Altman’s Coke bottle assault or Shakespeare/Julie Taymor’s Titus. Children of Kubrick, Friedkin, Lynch and Tarantino, they remain infantile about movies.

>Refn's style precludes caring about or responding to violence, vulnerability, mortality.

That's all in-universe, all self-contained.
The claim that you can't be shocked with 'x' substance because people keep using it is inane because that would mean that every movie ever made could have that argued against it, therefore no movie being shocking.
To go into that kind of mindset with each of his movies is a wrong way to approach, especially critically, that kind of bias isn't good.
