Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn returned to our Free Talks series to discuss his latest film, The Neon Demon, which stars Elle Fanning, Jena Malone, and Keanu Reeves, and which opened in theaters on June 24. Refn is no stranger to the Film Society, as the provocative filmmaker joined us to discuss his prior feature, the also divisive Only God Forgives. In The Neon Demon, Fanning plays an aspiring model who moves to Los Angeles, where her youth and vitality are devoured by a group of beauty-obsessed women willing to take any means necessary to get what she has. Watch as Refn talks about the making of the film, his fascinating career so far, and what’s coming next.
