  • The Criminal Underworlds of Nicolas Winding Refn
    The Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence Vol. IV, Issue 2/2020 © The Authors 2020 Available online at http://trivent-publishing.eu/ Slicing Up Eyeballs: The Criminal Underworlds of Nicolas Winding Refn M. Blake Wilson Department of Criminal Justice, California State University, Stanislaus, USA Abstract: From Buñuel and Dali’s Un Chien Andalou to recent works by Danish filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn, the cinematic destruction of the eye has become iconic due to its striking effect upon film spectators’ visceral experiences as well as its ability to influence their symbolic or fetishistic desires. By exploiting the natural discomfort and disgust produced by these types of images and then situating them within an aesthetic and psychoanalytic framework, Refn and other filmmakers provide a visual showcase for a unique type of cinematic violence, one which demands that viewers reappraise the value of their own eyes as well as the values which reflect social attitudes towards law enforcement, crime, and justice. Keywords: Eyes; Film; Film Noir; Jacques Lacan; Philosophy; Nicolas Winding Refn; Violence.

  • An Intersectional Analysis of Venerated Beauty in Nicolas Winding Refn’S the Neon Demon (2016)
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The University of Sydney: Sydney eScholarship Journals... Beauty ‘Beyond Feminism’? An Intersectional Analysis of Venerated Beauty in Nicolas Winding Refn’s The Neon Demon (2016) Isabella Maher Introduction Beauty is one of the most explored concepts in the Western world. Its inspiration of artworks, poetry, novels, films and other cultural products has positioned it as an object of study across disciplines such as philosophy, aesthetics, religious studies, and sociology. From the Ancient Greeks to the contemporary era, Western scholars and artists have attempted to understand the concept of beauty as a perceptual experience of pleasure. This obsession with beauty has led to a culture and industry that supports hierarchies in society based on perceived attributes of an ideal form of physical female beauty. As such, it has historically served in the subjugation of those who do not conform to such an ideal. As Naomi Wolf asserts “Beauty is a currency system… it is determined by politics, and in the modern age in the West it is the last, best belief system that keeps male dominance intact.”1 This article will examine how an idealised form of beauty is represented by Danish auteur Nicolas Winding Refn in his film The Neon Demon (2016). Refn makes the bold claim that his film is “beyond feminism” because “it’s not quote-unquote political. But is it all about women? Absolutely. There is no man that has a place as the movie progresses along.”2 The question is, considering the ramifications of beauty as it has historically served to regulate and subjugate women, to what extent can a film about beauty truly be ‘beyond feminism’? Through an intersectional analysis of gender, race, sexuality and sexual orientation, as Isabella Maher is an Honours student in Studies in Religion at the University of Sydney.

  • W Poszukiwaniu Duchowości Dalekiego Wschodu – Synkretyczna Wizja Filmu Only God Forgives Na Tle Twórczości Nicolasa Windinga Refna
    MAREK SFUGIER W POSZUKIWANIU DUCHOWOŚCI DALEKIEGO WSCHODU – SYNKRETYCZNA WIZJA FILMU ONLY GOD FORGIVES NA TLE TWÓRCZOŚCI NICOLASA WINDINGA REFNA I jeżeli twa prawa ręka stanie ci się powodem upadku, odetnij ją i odrzuć od siebie. Bo lepiej dla ciebie, jeżeli stracisz jeden ze swych członków, niż żeby całe ciało twoje miało pójść do piekła. Kazanie na górze, Mt 5,301 Wstęp Lata 90. minionego wieku obfitowały w liczne debiuty filmowe reżyserów młodego pokolenia. Spośród nich wszystkich do niewątpliwie udanych należy zaliczyć film Pusher2 Nicolasa Windinga Refna. Urodzony w 1970 r. w Danii reżyser wpisuje się w grono twórców, którzy mimo braku wykształcenia w sztuce kinematograficznej odnieśli ogromny sukces na arenie międzynarodowej. Wyrzucony z nowojorskiej Amerykańskiej Akademii Sztuk Dramatycznych, zrezygnował z prestiżowej Duń- skiej Szkoły Filmowej, aby oddać się całkowicie realizacji wspomnianego już pełno- metrażowego debiutu. Podobnie jak Quentin Tarantino czy Kevin Smith pozostał przy tym samoukiem, działającym raczej intuicyjnie niż z wyuczonym schematy- zmem. Ważniejsze od rzemiosła okazały się pasja oraz potrzeba twórczej ekspre- sji – zaszczepione u młodego Nicolasa poprzez seanse kinowe, a także utrwalone w domowym zaciszu dzięki telewizorowi oraz kasetom wideo. Ponadto dla osoby cierpiącej na dysleksję i ślepotę barw kinematografia stanowiła w okresie dojrzewa- nia swego rodzaju audiowizualny filtr, dzięki któremu Refn doświadczał otaczającej go rzeczywistości. Szczególną fascynację znalazł zaś w amerykańskim kinie gatun- kowym, tak znienawidzonym przez matkę i ojczyma. 1 Cyt. za: Pismo Święte Nowego Testamentu, tłum. z j. greckiego S.

  • Adventures in Film Music Redux Composer Profiles
    Adventures in Film Music Redux - Composer Profiles ADVENTURES IN FILM MUSIC REDUX COMPOSER PROFILES A. R. RAHMAN Elizabeth: The Golden Age A.R. Rahman, in full Allah Rakha Rahman, original name A.S. Dileep Kumar, (born January 6, 1966, Madras [now Chennai], India), Indian composer whose extensive body of work for film and stage earned him the nickname “the Mozart of Madras.” Rahman continued his work for the screen, scoring films for Bollywood and, increasingly, Hollywood. He contributed a song to the soundtrack of Spike Lee’s Inside Man (2006) and co- wrote the score for Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). However, his true breakthrough to Western audiences came with Danny Boyle’s rags-to-riches saga Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Rahman’s score, which captured the frenzied pace of life in Mumbai’s underclass, dominated the awards circuit in 2009. He collected a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award for best music as well as a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best score. He also won the Academy Award for best song for “Jai Ho,” a Latin-infused dance track that accompanied the film’s closing Bollywood-style dance number. Rahman’s streak continued at the Grammy Awards in 2010, where he collected the prize for best soundtrack and “Jai Ho” was again honoured as best song appearing on a soundtrack. Rahman’s later notable scores included those for the films 127 Hours (2010)—for which he received another Academy Award nomination—and the Hindi-language movies Rockstar (2011), Raanjhanaa (2013), Highway (2014), and Beyond the Clouds (2017).

Filmen tegner et sort billede af Reykjavik’s underverden og skildrer desuden de radikale ændringer som fandt sted i den kriminelle underverden omkring årtusindeskiftet. Svartur a leik siges at være under indflydelse af Pusher (1996) som fik kæmpe succes både i Danmark og udenlands. Filmene anses for at være, hver i sit land „den første realistiske kortlægning af narkotikahandel som foregår i forbrydermiljøet“ men på hver sin måde og fra forskellig synsvinkel. Opgaven går ud på komparativ filmanalyse med hensyn til indhold, stil, miljø og samfund samt den virkelighed filmene har deres rødder og udspringer af. I den første del er der lagt vægt på baggrundsemne som knyttes til filmene, både direkte og indirekte. Dernæst kommer selve filmanalysen hvor fokussen ligger på værkanalysen eller filmens indhold og i kølvandet følger så den filmtekniske analyse. Derefter er filmene sat i et perspektiv i relation til dens virkelighed og samfundsmæssige forhold. Jeg vil endvidere se på hvilke områder filmene adskiller sig, og på hvilke områder de ligner hinanden, og i hvor høj grad vi befinder os i en realistisk verden i filmene.

FRAGMENTS BY NWR THE DEMON RISES “For a number of years, I’ve had this interest in making a film about beauty, because, in my life, I’m surrounded by it,” NWR says, referring to his wife, filmmaker LIV CORFIXEN (MY LIFE DIRECTED BY NICOLAS WINDING REFN), his two young daughters, and, presumably, the myriad actresses and models he’s encountered directing both feature films and fashion advertisements for brands like Gucci, YXL, H&M and Hennessey. “And I see a lot of female empowerment with beauty.” “The currency of beauty continues to rise and never falls.
