Finally got around to watching Refn's The Neon Demon.
Interesting concept and as always, so very atmospheric. Refn has such a compelling style. That music-sound-light thing he has going on, the slow panning camera... Same with Drive and Only God Forgives. His style of filmmaking is entertaining and captivating, at times almost to the point of being breathtaking...
But this is one damn poorly written film. It's like a very very feeble Mulholland Drive. Colour me disappointed again. Refn nosedives into vapid banalities. Beautiful. Yes. But empty.
The last scene though. It's a wild one.
