Nicolas Winding Refn’s latest neon-drenched vibes fest, featuring a new score by the legendary Pino Donaggio.
When a mysterious mist engulfs a futuristic metropolis, unleashing a deadly and elusive entity, a troubled young woman (Sophie Thatcher) searches for her father. Her quest collides with an American GI (Charles Melton) on a harrowing odyssey to rescue his daughter from Hell.
“Her Private Hell resists interpretation, like so many of Refn’s recent films, but executes a slow dervish swirl of hypnotic strangeness.” Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
“The genius of Her Private Hell is that, like a kind of visual ASMR, it offers nothing really concrete, just a lot of satisfying triggers and sensory associations… Is it pretentious? You bet! But it’s the kind of pretension that’s been missing for far too long in cinema… [it’s] either for you or it isn’t and you’re either for it or you aren’t. Either way, this is a film that demands you pick a side.” Damon Wise, Deadline
