Exploring Nicolas Winding Refn's Neon Noir.
Nicolas Winding Refn’s stylised use of neon soaked urban landscapes has given rise to an aesthetic that now pervades modern cinematographic sensibilities. From the John Wick movies to indie films like Mandy this style has drawn on a visual zeitgeist pioneered by Refn and earlier by Michael Mann. This video essay explores why we are drawn to such seductively ambient soundscapes and vividly rich imagery and attempts to ctitique the deeper ambiguity of the film noir genre.
