Her Private Hell (2026)

The gamut is so wide with Nicolas Widing Refn that it's impossible to know if it will be a masterpiece or absolute garbage. His last two efforts (that I have seen) are not a source of optimism though since both The Neon Demon and the mini-serie Too Old to Die Young have their moments but are mostly bad. Have not seen the mini serie he did in Danemark since though (Copenhagen Cowboy).

It's both as fucked up and awesome anyone seen Too Old To Die Young and Only God Forgives would expect. Questionable writing, interesting cinematography, "what's the point?" directing, top notch scenes, ultraviolence because why not, etc.
Refn hit everyone's buttons with Drive but if you hate his other work it's fine, he seems to wander around themes and atmosphere (hongkong 90', west coast 80') like any spoiled cinema student would dream about. Sometimes it's hit, most of the time it's miss. I mean the man revered Metal Gear's Hideo Kojima works so hard he both featured in Death Stranding, while giviing Kojima cameo in Too Old To Die Young.
I'll watch anything Refn but its flaws shouldn't be overlooked.
