Best movie of the year pretty much confirmed.
They didn't even need dialogue. It was that good.
This movie was perfect.
Really tapped into, like, the heart of everything right now.
Also, Refn is absolutely without a doubt a /tv/ browser. It had a metaphysics that is at the essence of this board. I just know that he knows.

Very few people are going to see this. It will be a cult classic, but for now, as far as I can tell, the only people going are art scene people and /tv/
Elle is not that hot and has literally no breasts. Movie falls flat on its face because of that.

Why do you need to talk like such annoying children? The movie is meme tier garbage and I regret spending my money on it, but I don't come here and act like a fucking spaz about it.
>>71465808
so if I go to see it there's a chance I will meet some qt3.14 artsy girls? and maybe they will find me cute for coming to see their stylish movie? and then they'll sit next to me and giggle the entire movie? and then ......

All I know is that the best people will love this movie and the worst people will hate it.

There is more but these are the big ones I think. The ideas that are included under these concepts probably could also be referenced in one way or another.
The beautiful thing about this movie is that it said so much with so little. There wasn't much dialogue. The imagery was intellectually powerful. The imagery really carried the movie.

Saw it again tonight, after seeing it last week at a preview screening in a packed theatre. Only one other guy there this time.
Found myself much more immersed in the narrative and characters this time, and my mouth still hung open at certain moments.
8.5/10
Fantastic visuals, beautiful soundtrack, great performances. Everything is just so slight and empty, works so wonderfully with and against the film. Based refn

She is not hot at all. She is something totally other, than that. That's why it works

Too bad the critics will never understand this. They all need story spoonfed to them.

There are so many concepts, too much. Like I said, you could probably find a lot of other concepts the movie referenced under the big ones I mentioned, easily. Satanism and witchcraft would probably go under Illuminati.
Obviously, wikipedia links all the knowledge together so eventually anyone can reach those concepts, but the point is that the ones I linked will probably link it to the concepts that are dealt with the movie faster.

Dude see it in theaters. I usually don't give a shit about seeing it in theater or torrent but this one is super visually demanding. Also if you want more like this you should support it.

This. This is the exact reason i can't trust the opinion of /tv/. It's like 75% of people on this board watch a movie once then immediately decide it's either the greatest thing they've ever seen or it's just absolute shit.
>>71467736
>wikipedia
seriously?
I think this movie is superior to OGF because this story works on a literal level as well as a metaphorical one.
OGFs story was muddled and uncooked and too hazy to really coherently follow.
I love both and Refn is undoubtedly the greatest filmmaker of this generation.
>>71465864
>has literally no breasts
t-they'll grow won't they anon
Man this is going to lose a lot when viewed at home.
I wanted to take another trip but it's already gone from my theatre, I've never seen anything gone so fast.

Can anybody give me the jist of why this film is so controversial without spoiling it?
>>71468937
what's the name of that painter who paints beautiful life like nude women? that's him, I saw his work on a /pol/ art thread once
>>71472891
controversy? I hadn't heard of any
It's a bit lewd and gory at times but nothing super crazy
one of the best movies post 2010

I was surprised it even got such a wide release in pleb Regal's and AMC's, there were just two other people in the theater when I went to see it last weekend

I thought the movie exaggerated in goryness and weirdness during the 3rd act though. Felt disconnected from the rest for me.

How is it doing so bad?
NWR, Keanue Reeves, Elle Fanning...? Can't even break a million?
>>71468139
No the kind of critics who would accept the offer to review OGF and Neon Demon are usually the ones who already sat through all this student film garbage when they were studying to get their degree. They're also familiar with giallo and tone poems so a basic bitch craftsman like Refn doesn't offer anything they can't see right through.
>>71474325
Zero marketing
Normies don't know who NWR or Elle or Jena are and Keanu and titcow are barely in it
>>71474363
Those kind of critics then praise capeshit
>>71474369
People don't know who Jena Malone is really?
I don't have television myself but I saw a TV Spot at a friends place. Don't know what channel.
>>71474413
Those kind of critics write for Cinema Scope and Sight & Sound, they're not the ones from salon.com or danblogsfilm:).com, etc. The ones you look at and go "who are they and why do they get a profile on rt?" they HAVE to review capeshit to keep their websites going and don't have the taste to see through them.
>>71474500
Nah I take it back they're all capeshit-devouring plebs but it doesn't make Refn less pedestrian. Stupid people hate stupid movies all the time.
>>71474500
>>71474618
Cahiers loved Neon Demon btw
>>71474633
Good for them. They also think War of the Worlds is one of the ten best films of the entire 2000s decade.
Where do you people usually watch movies that aren't available on Blu Ray or not in theaters?
I'm not familiar with this whole thing, but unfortunately the movie is only being shown in 30 theaters in germany, and the closest one that shows it is 150km from where i live
I really don't want to wait until it's out on Blu Ray just because my theaters don't want to show it
>>71474618
find me 3 good, reputable reviewers who like The Neon Demon
the best reviewers are the ones that have been trashing it hardest
>>71474663
Heres hoping they fast track that Blu-Ray.
>>71474662>implying it's not
>>71474824
OGF went VOD very early, before US theater release, actually. Was kinda hoping all Refns would be like that.
>>71474663
streaming services like google play or iTunes sometimes strike deals for digital releases that are pretty close to the theatrical runs
Yeah its the best movie I've seen from 2016.
The only other movie I've seen from 2016 is Green Room though and this just barely edges it out.
Would you say Neon Demon is more or less commercial than Only God Forgives? What about compared to Drive?
>>71474824
Amazon Digital Release next month
>>71463440
Talkies were mistake.
>>71474976
Ah goddamnit.
How does Amazon Digital work is that a subscription thing?
Fuckin movies are turning into console wars.
>>71474976
Wow, that soon? That means we only get one month of good threads on /tv/. Right now the only people who have seen the movie are adults with jobs (i.e. people whose opinions actually matter).
Should I watch this?
>drive was 9.5/10
>Bronson was 9/10
>valhalla was 8/10
>only God was 5/10
>fear x was 5/10
>the pusher films were all 7-8/10
Given my opinion on Autism Winding Refn's work, should I watch this?
>deep pleb
>>71474912
More commercial. Much more dialogue, clearer narrative, majority of scenes are lit like regular films instead of high contrast neon in every shot like OGF.
I love Refn but I'm not driving 90 minutes to Austin to see this.
Torrent when?
>>71475033
Accounts are free. No subscription necessary to rent movies. New release will probably go $10-15.
>>71469082
My theatre doesn't have it and the closest theatre that does is two hours away. It's bullshit
>>71475093
Worth the trip.
>>71475147
hopefully it'll be included with Amazon Prime
>>71475174
A lot less theatres will have it after today. Last showing is at 4pm here.
>>71475093
i live in Austin and saw it Alamo last night. i am dying to see it again, i've felt nightcore as shit all night/all morning. i might go see it again tonight/this weekend.w-wanna go?
>>71475195
A hotly anticipated new release? Zero chance of that happening.
>>71475233
>hotly anticipated
>watch movie
>feel nothing
>think nothing
either i reached spiritual enlightenment or this movie lacks humanity boys
why did ref even make this? did he have a reason
>>71475048
No.
>>71475532
So it's OGF all over again, ain't it..
>>71475093
>>71475228
p-pls respond
>>71475600
This was kind of a mix between Drive and OGF, and it's not OGF all over again. If you give Drive a 9.5 you should definately watch The Neon Demon anyways.
