Carmen Gray has a post up for AnOther on some of Nicolas Winding Refn’s films. First one mentioned was The Neon Demon.
Matthew Toffolo posted his interview with cinematographer Natasha Braier on his site. She was the DP for The Neon Demon. She had the following to say about working with Nicolas Winding Refn:
I think working with Nicolas Winding Refn is a gift for any cinematographer, because he is interested in visual story telling, in poetry, in suggesting rather than narrating. He doesn’t care about the conventional established representational mode of film story telling, he goes beyond, and for me thats what always been exiting in film making. I always tend to look for directors that are working in this direction, but Nic is probably the most extreme of them, and that’s what I love about him. He pushes me to get the bravest part of myself, to jump the abyss, he doesn’t care if we fall and crash while trying, he would rather try and fail than to stay in a safe territory. So, I love jumping with him, and most of the time, we don’t fall but we fly.
Many thanks to yuukkuaa for sharing two of her photos of Keanu on the red carpet during the John Wick premiere in Japan on websta here and here.
Many thanks to snaxinthecity for sharing his selfie with Keanu on websta. The photo is a flash back from last year for those who missed it the first time around.
The Wisconsin Historical Society has posted a photo of Keanu on the Chain Reaction set. The capitol grounds in Madison, WI were used to represent the capitol grounds in Washington, DC. Thanks to @keanulatino for tweeting the link.
