Are the critics right? Is he really the Kubrick of our generation?

Yes, but plebs and reddit don't understand his kino

No. He's close to levels of Tarantino in that he makes stupid over stylised films that become 2 hr long self indulgent wankfests than an actual movie.

only plebs and redditors love his garbage

>the Kubrick of our generation

>>80010262

PPPPFFFFTTAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA no

>>80010236
This.

This sad faggot would be a nice DP on a well casted movie. His "directorial" flippity flops are such a boring snoozefest, timidly redeemed by his OCD scene comps and avantgarde lighting setups. Basically the guy can stage, but its MILES behind a competent director.

He's is the new David Lynch

>>80010154
no, he's the Gerald Thomas of our generation. or maybe Russ Meyer

It's a mystery how can that low IQ autist be so good at moviemaking. His shit is genuenely entertaining.

I thought Bravo Nolan was the Kubrick of our le generation.

>>80010154
Did Kubrick get the same kind of negative reception as he does while his movies are out? I like his stuff a lot but outside of /tv/ I find very few people who liked Only God Forgives and The Neon Demon.

he hasn't made enough good movies for us to tell

>>80010154

he's hasn't shown the skill of kubrick, but he makes some interesting movies

>>80011812
>Pusher trilogy
>Valhalla Rising
>Bleeder
>OGF
What more could you want
>>80010804
Also this

>>80012763
The only marginally interesting film there is Valhalla Rising. He got lucky with Drive, admit it. I go out of my way to continue watching his films because Bronson was excellent, but it's starting to become a waste of time.

>>80010154
Kek no

>>80010236
wrong. the style is the substance in his films. if you dont get them, you arent paying close enough attention. Also, take more hallucinogens. Its pretty clear what Refn is going for - he has said it himself - they are made with specific drugs in mind.

>>80013528
Pusher was amazing as well. Only God Forgives was just an LSD-film. You will either love it, or need to open your third eye.

>>80011146
Yes. The Shining won a couple of Razzies.

>>80010154

Literally the greatest kinomaster

>>80011146
Quite a few of his films weren't received as well upon opening as they have been over time.

Clockwork Orange was so panned in the UK Kubrick himself petitioned to get it pulled from cinemas there.

>>80016111
That's surprising considering how popular it is today. What other movies will be like that in the future?

>>80016385
Blue is the wamest colour had a pretty difficult release because a lot of people in the US basicall called it porn while it's viewed as a great movie now

>>80010154
Like all Chinlets he peaked with his earlier works, and since then his works have become self indulgent and his vision is perverted and lose the essence they once had
The most famous examples of chinlets are George Lucas, and M. Night Shyamalan

>>80015718

pretty crazy actually. years ago watching Valhalla Rising, I was struck by the fact that the movie seemed to be have literally been *made* with hallucinogens in mind. Certain trees moprh certain ways when watching it tripping, and there are many scenes which is are psychedelically "active".

Still my favorite movie btw.

>>80011048
Why did that documentary have so much nudity?

>>80020123
>that documentary where danish tv guys just rip into Refn's entire being
why did he agree to that

>>80010154
cite your sources

>>80010236
Took acid and watched Only God Forgives a year or so bavk and had a religious esque experience. One of my top 10 films now

>>80010154
Yes

Now that the Neon Trilogy is complete I hope he branches out a little more, stylistically.

If he directed a movie written by P.T. Anderson I'd shit a brick. What I'm trying to say is that he is one of the best directors of our generation, just isn't the best writer.

Refn makes movies by having a strong visual vision and then building a movie around it. Plot and script are meaningless for Refn. The end result is a great looking mess.

>>80010154
How come Goose's movie was panned? It seemed like a 1:1 vintage Refn.

>>80022177
This is the truth. I like his directing and style choices but his writing is always shit.

>>80010154
Yes and anyone whoever denies it is a pleb. Remember, Kubrick was not a director many people thought fondly of during his time either. In 20 years Refn will be (rightfully) considered king of kino

>>80022177
TND really seemed like a sequence of scenes that Refn thought would "look cool" without a lot of cohesion.
