The film follows 16 year old Jesse (Elle Fanning) who moves to Los Angeles to begin her career as a model. Her young and fresh-faced beauty is her point of privilege in the industry, greatly desired and fetishised amidst the largely\u252c\u00e1nip-and-tuck\u252c\u00e1scene of LA fashion. This &#8216;deer in the headlights&#8217; look is a commodity and soon leads her to success whilst making her the envy of the more seasoned (and now last-season) models. Jesse, embracing her capital, plunges into the deep end of Refn&#8217;s sinister world of the modelling industry &#8211; one that is rarely\u252c\u00e1represented in film, wherein the\u252c\u00e1exploitation and seduction of it all become\u252c\u00e1blurred to an unsettling extent.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Neon Demon<\/em> is purposefully detached from reality; it is an immorality tale about Evil being embraced in this nightmarish world where nobody represents &#8216;Good&#8217;. Yet, in its unreality it still confronts us with the corruption and exploitation of our own world. Refn does present some familiar aspects of the fashion industry such as rejection and humiliation at casting calls and the commodification of\u252c\u00e1increasingly unattainable\u252c\u00e1Western beauty standards. However the film\u252c\u00e1focuses on pushing the extent of vanity and envy, allowing underlying desires and taboos to emerge in this vision of LA.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-10384\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/The-Neon-Demon-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The Neon Demon\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/The-Neon-Demon-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/The-Neon-Demon-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/The-Neon-Demon-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/The-Neon-Demon-1-990x556.jpg 990w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/The-Neon-Demon-1-470x264.jpg 470w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/The-Neon-Demon-1-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/The-Neon-Demon-1-215x120.jpg 215w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/The-Neon-Demon-1-414x232.jpg 414w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/The-Neon-Demon-1.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With the stunning cinematography from Natasha Braier and Refn&#8217;s stylistic vision, the appropriately sinister tonality is consistent and unyielding throughout the film &#8211; every shot is beautiful, with meticulous consideration for the high contrast and high fashion aesthetic. There is potential influence from Kenneth Anger&#8217;s <em>Pleasure Dome<\/em>\u252c\u00e1when it comes to Refn&#8217;s visual blend of the sinister, fantastic\u252c\u00e1and erotic &#8211; from the bound woman levitating at a party delighting and intriguing Jesse, to the self reflective mirror imagery and bright colourisation against pitch-black nothingness. The whole film\u252c\u00e1has the sheen and edge of the fashion industry, disturbed by the Bu\u251c\u2592uelian surreal and provocative.<\/p>\n<p>Although, in spite of this largely visual and tonal focus, it is not a superficial film about superficiality. In an entrancing sequence, Jesse goes down a catwalk which becomes a mind-expanding walk past reflections of the self and into her own desires. She is confronted with a triangular neon image in pitch black,\u252c\u00e1lights at the end of the runway which are emblematic\u252c\u00e1of the demon consuming all of\u252c\u00e1LA&#8217;s fashion world. This is perhaps the most powerful sequence in the film. It has a similar effect as looking at the monolithic shapes of a Rothko painting; just watching the beautiful yet harsh and almost psychotropic sequence unloads the symbolism, visually marking the shift in the film where Jesse allows herself to become corrupted better than the dialogue does in the following scene.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-10385\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/neon-demon-1024x455.png\" alt=\"The Neon Demon\" width=\"1024\" height=\"455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/neon-demon-1024x455.png 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/neon-demon-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/neon-demon-768x341.png 768w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/neon-demon.png 1429w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It does have to be\u252c\u00e1said that\u252c\u00e1dialogue is not the best. Refn wrote the\u252c\u00e1screenplay along with\u252c\u00e1Mary Laws and Polly Stenham, whilst his most memorable and critically acclaimed film\u252c\u00e1<em>Drive<\/em>\u252c\u00e1was adapted by Hossein Amini\u252c\u00e1from the James Sallis\u252c\u00e1novel. Eventually it becomes understood that the dialogue\u252c\u00e1is a stylistic choice &#8211; think\u252c\u00e1<em>The<\/em> <em>Valley of the Dolls, Twilight Zone-<\/em>esque\u252c\u00e1strangeness coming from the one-minded people of LA&#8217;s fashion industry, the microcosm for Refn&#8217;s sinister world. However, like <em>The Valley of the Dolls<\/em>, it seems the film unavoidably sacrifices a degree of depth for the sake of this style. Really Refn may have been better off cutting\u252c\u00e1down the dialogue itself. Often only weakly reiterated the tonality and turns already portrayed by the\u252c\u00e1visual sequences, the dialogue is mostly hollow and sometimes insipid.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible to see why <em>The Neon Demon <\/em>has had quite a divided reception, however I do think that it has the potential to be enjoyed by, or at least have an effect on, anybody. This film is the kind that will transport you if accept what you are being shown, no matter how uncomfortable it is trying to make you feel &#8211; it is more so provocative in this sense than due to the graphic sexual and violent content. The visuals are more than worth experiencing in themselves as they take the narrative to a subterranean depth. <em>The Neon Demon<\/em>\u252c\u00e1is a comprehensive and polished story despite its issues with dialogue as Refn gets to the core, the demon at the centre, of the world he has created.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With\u252c\u00e1his latest\u252c\u00e1release,\u252c\u00e1The Neon Demon, Nicolas Winding Refn brings us one of the only worthy films to see during this unremarkable [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":351,"featured_media":10383,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[3023,746,3025,3024,3022],"class_list":["post-10382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-film-tv","tag-elle-fanning","tag-film-review","tag-keanu-reeves","tag-nicolas-winding-refn","tag-the-neon-demon"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
