This is a video essay highlighting director Nicolas Winding Refn and his 2016 film 'The Neon Demon.' It is a thriller/horror movie that dives into a topic that is painfully present in modern society, body image.
The films of Nicolas Winding Refn tend to be films about inner struggle. When relaying this to the audience, the Danish filmmaker often turns to reflections.
In the following montage, I’ve compiled the triangular imagery from 'The Neon Demon' to reveal both its prevalence and its role in framing the evolution/devolution of Jesse and those who would build themselves on her broken back.
