Filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn isn’t just an acquired taste.
He’s an adore-him-or-loathe-him auteur whose neon-drenched genre fantasias are awash in such self-conscious affectation that “polarizing” seems too weak a term to describe the reactions they elicit.
Having spent the past decade making streaming series (Too Old to Die Young and https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/copenhagen-cowboy-review-netflix-weirdest-tv-show-yet/" rel="">Copenhagen Cowboy) that reconfirmed his commitment to stylized insanity, the Danish writer/director of Ryan Gosling’s 2011 showcase Drive makes his grand big-screen return with Her Private Hell, an orgy of violence, sex, fashion, and sordid glitz and glamour that makes next to no sense.
It will be irresistible catnip for the fervently faithful, but this mannered tale of reunion, desire, jealousy, revenge, betrayal, insecurity, and lurid color filters will leave most scratching their heads—and, often, chuckling at its bats--t bravado.
