i'll start.
I think it is a visual masterpiece.
I had a nice lunch with my friends after we all saw this heap of trash.
He redeemed himself with Neon however

You don't understand the most basic thing about composition.
>>84922879
Neon Demon is trash too.

Your local film complex screens kinos in the morning?
Jealous desu
The violence was impactful.

I like the bit where he eats his mum's liver or something to that effect
This nonsense is so inorganic to any sense of globetrotter restlessness or anything explicitly or metaphorically to do with British or American colonialism that it just feels derivative. That Kubrickian scene in Drive of dead-eyed strippers watching an assault gets extended here in a more elaborate whorehouse sequence where catatonic hookers bear mute witness to instances of police corruption. Refn’s tableau of organdy-gowned call-girls listening to pop while watching violence in a bouquet-bedecked whorehouse is the ultimate David Lynch parody.
Gosling and 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.

Winding-Refn uses the colors and cinematography to explain all of the plot and motivations in this movie. He shows attitudes and relationships change and interact with it.

Neon was his worst IMO
I liked Valhalla Rising better
