for all the people commenting about elle not looking like a model - that's the point. her not looking like a typical is model, yet being so beautiful and young, is what draws the casting directors for the modeling agency in. she is the new trend, and the usual look is no longer in fashion.
It's amazing how shallow people are when behind a keyboard. I think Elle Fanning looks beautiful. And so did the other women in the film too. But because Elle is meant to be the most beautiful, they feel the need to belittle her. The same would have happened if Jena Malone or Abbey Lee was chosen instead to the role of Jesse.
Elle Fanning was excellent in this. Jenna Malone was fantastic. NWR is a genius. Abbey Lee however was a wonderful surprise. I thought her performance was terrific.
I absolutely fell in love with Abbey Lee after seeing this movie. Her eyes pierce through my soul. She is incredibly stunning. I wish I could just hang out with her and see what kinda person she is.
That was an excellent interview. The host not only saw the movie but analized it, set interesting scenarios, and chose very intelligent questions. Instead of the typical "how did you feel by working with him?", "and what's your favorite horror movie!"
where is jena malone?!?! she easily steals the show...and dare i say oscar worthy performance! she has that steely demeanor towards the end and its so powerful.
blind foldme I think she couldn't do much publicity because she was heavily pregnant and had a child right around when the movie came out. At the premiere of the movie, she's super pregnant. I do wish that there were more interviews with her about this movie, though; she KILLS it.
abbey lee is soooooo so so beautiful in the movie and here and she has a great style, great haircolor, not bleached but actual natural haircolor or at least what looks like it she has such a stunning facial structure
Refn is one of the few modern visionary directors, and he's just getting started. Someday he'll be up there with Malick and Kubrick. Bronson, Valhala Rising, Drive, Only God Forgives and The Neon Demon. All unique and all excellent!
All his movies so far that have huge impact rely heavily on the musical score - I have watched Neon Demon twice now - it mesmerizes. I do agree Refn is a visionary Director and look forward to seeing what he does next. What will he be without Cliff Martinez? He has been accused of style over substance, being pretentious.... for me in the case of The Neon Demon in particular if the movie was just style I would not have felt so uneasy yet mesmerized - he can grab your attention and create a movie that deserves many repeat viewings and discussion with other movie fans.
I think she is beautiful and very talented, but her face creeps me out too, especially when she is more skinny than usual. I think it's because she kinda reminds me of Gollum.
I think Elle have and angelic, pure, ethereal stunning beauty. And those characteristics were key to her character. She was the ingenue in a world of vicious, relentless witches. I don't find Abbey pretty at all. In the movie without make up her face looked skeleton like. But her performance was good. Jena's character was one of her best performances of her career. He character was very layered and she delivered in amazing ways. It's an award worthy performance.
WHY were so few questions directed at Abbey Lee?! I was most interested in her take on this movie, or fashion, or...food. She's so perfect I could just listen to her talk about anything for hours :)
I defined my life around the trauma of not really being pretty. My neurosis are massive blobs of anguish around that fact. My sex life is completely directed at my sexual nature of seducing, at any cost. Because of the urgency to compensate, capture. To fill that hole of rejection carved in my soul. There's quite a bit of neon demon inside me.
This film is very beautiful but i was struggling in convincing myself that Elle is prettier than Abbey through the whole film. Elle is a beautiful girl yet Abbey is a GODDESS.
I know what you mean but I think in the film she wasn't necessarily meant to be less attractive than Jesse, but the fact was that she had had her time on the modelling scene and was now getting too old and "washed up" liked used goods. like there is always someone ready to take your place. But yes it was kind of distracting that Elle looks nothing like a model and Abbey is a very amazing one...
+Crystal Punky yeah very much so. think Refn would have been better served casting some nobody actress who had that "it" factor the film was referring to as opposed to running with someone established like elle.
Abbey was beautiful but like Gigi, her beauty wasnt pure, at least anymore, like Jesse's was. She didn't have "IT," and her seasonal demand was dying off.
I think, with the main character, they intentionally went with someone who looked vulnerable, rather than visually perfect. We're not supposed to perceive her the way everybody in the movie does.
Refn is a complicated soul, who's also a dad with two daughters listening to Frozen in the background. It's the dichotomy of every creative person that always fascinates me. Hell, even the two sides of non-creative people are fascinating. He speaks how things are written, which is unusual for a visual expressing person. Sarcasm is more interesting when it's spoken by earnest people. The movie was so incredibly... ART, but Francis Bacon, brilliantly dark.
I'm laughing so hard for the 8:20 - 8:40 part, his eyes closed while moving gracefully his fingers, the interviewer saying he's a creep, and then Refn's sardonic and pleased smile, I put that scene on repeat. By the way, he's a creep and that's OK, otherwise he wouldn't be the genius he really is
Its weird, his films Drive, Only God Forgives, and this one are the only films I've ever watched then watched again next day :p I think I did that with Fightclub though too! But I watched Only God Forgives like 5 times lol the song 'sister' in that movie is like my favorite instrumental song
I'm sort of angry with the interviewer, because he asked so much about the Neon Demon in context or concept based on the the beauty industry, and it's so much deeper than that, every scene had a hidden message, the film sequence was perfectly propotioned according to symmetry as Refn said, beauty itself. With this film he gave beauty a symbolism in every aspect so when you reach the final act of the movie, it feels like a full circle, Refn and the cast/crew gave us a perfect hypotenuse.
I think its cause they want you to find all the symbolism while watching the film since it makes the rewatchability that much more interesting of an experience and just revealing it all makes it less likely for someone to go back and to find new things everytime they watch the film.
Still remember watching his first movie Pusher in a movie theathre. It really made an impact on me.. very powerful at that time in the 90's and some excellent performances by the main actors. A few of those slowly turned into respected movie stars after Pusher. 2 me the movie felt honest and very ambitious. A real raw movie that almost looked like a docu movie in certain scenes, very true to the subject at hand. Actually there is atleast one actor from his initial trilogy (Pusher being the first movie) that couldn't make further appearances in some planned material due to serving jail time in Denmark. So.. there is actually a 4th movie that was planned by Refn in that series that never got made and never will be. I have seen some of his later films not all though and I am really looking forward to watching The Neon Demon when it is released on DVD in september I believe it is. I never got to watch it in my home town(DK town) since they did not show it here(f*ckers, showing other movies that are totally crap though). :)
Refn's movies may not be high works of intellectual art, but one thing is for sure that he knows what he likes and goes for it and never tries to superficially imitate other directors. All his movies are made for the cinema, for that cinematic experience
its funny you say that. i was thinking the same thing while watching the neon demon. i'm a huge fan of his work, but have struggled to understand if his films are "good" by any classic measure. particularly in regards to only god forgives. it wasn't until watching neon demon that i realized how much i was enjoying myself while watching that, i didn't really care if the film was "good". it didn't really have to have any rhyme or reason to it, it was just pure enjoyment. it's like high art equivalent of dumb fun.
@@lucanreynolds1341 it looks more like shes wearing natural make up which just accentuates her natural features which just goes ti show how she is so naturally beautiful.
I haven't seen the movie so there must obviously be a reason why Elle Fanning was cast as 'model' because she certainly doesn't look like one being too short, wrong body type or looks wise.
I actually saw this film...other than Super 8 def best MEF movie nice doods good work! and Gosling and Refn are both hateable doods but pretty damn witty funny and tight in my book, k good talk.

so what the new look? a bit above avrage and not perfect face? sound good to me.

@@ASAFYY elle is pretty thats a fact
@@asddfasdqwe7389 Yea but not in a megan fox way
@@ASAFYY Megan is beautiful, sure, but she's also had a lot of surgery to look the way she does now. They wanted someone more natural.
Elle Fanning was excellent in this. Jenna Malone was fantastic. NWR is a genius.
Abbey Lee however was a wonderful surprise. I thought her performance was terrific.
I've always loved Abby because she isn't a typical beauty. She is unique and rock n roll. Love her attitude.
Angie L *Abbey
Abbey Lee is everything! She looks kinda scary but beautiful at the same time and mysterious in a way.
she have pretty scarey look
I absolutely fell in love with Abbey Lee after seeing this movie. Her eyes pierce through my soul. She is incredibly stunning. I wish I could just hang out with her and see what kinda person she is.
That was an excellent interview. The host not only saw the movie but analized it, set interesting scenarios, and chose very intelligent questions. Instead of the typical "how did you feel by working with him?", "and what's your favorite horror movie!"
Btw sorry for the stupid misstyped words... Auto correct crap...
Abbey Lee is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen
Same here.
I'd eat her.
I totally concur She is absolutely stunning
And the accent is on point as well
she’s ugly afff
How many women have you seen?
Abbey Lee is so stunning. I hope she becomes less shy
She's a great actress too. Saw the film yesterday and she was so good in it
Yes she is super shy =)
Interesting how people who are more reserved are quickly labeled as shy or quiet.
It's always the quiet ones....
She is more an introvert
what an intellectual and creative man. his brutal honesty, humour and openness is so great to listen to
Abbey Lee is just pure perfection...the most beautiful woman in the world bar none!
where is jena malone?!?! she easily steals the show...and dare i say oscar worthy performance! she has that steely demeanor towards the end and its so powerful.

Elle Fanning's got a beautiful voice.

I highly doubt that. So far his film's are extremely stylish, but are also either empty or convoluted
But we'll see.
he copied Kubrick so much in this movie so no, i would not put him next to him
All his movies so far that have huge impact rely heavily on the musical score - I have watched Neon Demon twice now - it mesmerizes. I do agree Refn is a visionary Director and look forward to seeing what he does next. What will he be without Cliff Martinez? He has been accused of style over substance, being pretentious.... for me in the case of The Neon Demon in particular if the movie was just style I would not have felt so uneasy yet mesmerized - he can grab your attention and create a movie that deserves many repeat viewings and discussion with other movie fans.
Don't forget The Pusher trilogy this man made Mads Mikkelsen famous
His films are kind of like drugs, you take it, you feel high. But at the end, you feel kind of empty. Then you want to watch it again.
Abbey Lee no lie is the love of my life. Freaking fantastic actress and so beautiful
Everything Refn says is monumental and will be looked back on in the future.
3:35 : "Fuck yeah" LmFAO ABBEY
I love his way of thinking and expressing himself
Abbey Lee is so hot
After the film she scares me ahaha. I called what would happen though and I wish it ended differently but I loved the movie :)
and she is older then elle more the 11 years
HollyGolightly078
I am hoping this comment is satirical
Such an underrated movie!! Love it to pieces!! The runway scene was EVERYTHINGGGG
Maybe it's because of the film but after seeing it, everytime Abby Lee's face appears, it creeps me the fuck out.
was feeling the same! lol
Aurora Ebers it's because she is UGLY AF
I think she is beautiful and very talented, but her face creeps me out too, especially when she is more skinny than usual. I think it's because she kinda reminds me of Gollum.
Juana Waterkemper omg😹😹😹😹

Abby lee is gorgeous, but she looks like a typical model and that’s why Jesse outshined her
Can’t believe he called him a creep to his face lmfao the nerve
@@kshtjmlk the director and interviewer are obviously joking around, relax.
WHY were so few questions directed at Abbey Lee?! I was most interested in her take on this movie, or fashion, or...food. She's so perfect I could just listen to her talk about anything for hours :)
I don't know, but he seems like a real creep. That was not cool of him.
@@dianadelvalle3780 Agreed! Wait....are YOU Abbey?
This guy is so authentic, it's just genius
This guy has great sense of humor.
Elle is pretty in a girl next door sort of way .She is also very articulate and well spoken for a girl her age.
Abbey Lee and Elle Fanning are so cute together. NWR is a sick fuck and I love it.
I loved the evil actress, she is just amazing.
I think it's hard for filmmaker like NWR to gain support, because of his unique vision. Salute to NWR, one of my favourite director in this era.
"Do you think you're beautiful?"
Elle: *hesitates*
Abbey Lee: Fuck yeah!
Refn is a legend
Ridley Scott is a legend.
+Tyler Young lol ridley Scott ^^^ realy ?
+Stanley Kbrk doNt even compare refn to Ridley... refn's just an amateur while Ridley is one of the greatest
+never mind looool
+never mind
Ridley Scott's style is so tame. He has a more traditional directing style. Refn is closer to a blend of Kubrick and Lynch
Very knowledgeable interviewer. Loved this.
Enjoyed the film, love Refn's style!
I' m in Love with Elle she is so beautiful perfect actresse for the movie........
I defined my life around the trauma of not really being pretty. My neurosis are massive blobs of anguish around that fact. My sex life is completely directed at my sexual nature of seducing, at any cost. Because of the urgency to compensate, capture. To fill that hole of rejection carved in my soul. There's quite a bit of neon demon inside me.
He´s a great interviewer.
This movie is basically Black Swan in a modeling world setting
no. you got that so very wrong. black swan is just perfect blue. neon demon stands alone.
S. Y.
Sorry but that is a terrible comparision
I like how they are all dressed like their parts.
I'm in love with Elle.

That’s exactly how I felt throughout the whole movie
I loved the movie. Nicolas Winding Refn is a really talented director.
“I believe there’s a 16 year old girl inside every man”
.... “Absolutely”
lmao
This interviewer is great.
Possibly the most underrated movie ever made.
i talked to Refn. hes also libra and very nice. Elle and abbey are so beautyful. i really adore this movie!!!
that was an excellent interview!! :) awesome...thanks for sharing
not that Elle sucked but this movie couldn't be made without Jena Malone. and disappointing that they didn't go into more details about Ruby
that and bella heathcote
Abbey was a hidden gem.
Elle was great and so was Abby Lee but Jena Malone stole the show
24:20 - 24:40 Profound. Yeah, he's a bit pretentious. But he also has moments like this.
Refn is a complicated soul, who's also a dad with two daughters listening to Frozen in the background. It's the dichotomy of every creative person that always fascinates me. Hell, even the two sides of non-creative people are fascinating. He speaks how things are written, which is unusual for a visual expressing person. Sarcasm is more interesting when it's spoken by earnest people. The movie was so incredibly... ART, but Francis Bacon, brilliantly dark.
I feel bad for Abbey. Rifn contantly talks up Elle but almost never acknowledges Abbey.
Medea Sin Why did it seem as if Refn was making fun of Abbey Lee when he said "Abbey had a lot of questions". Hmmmm!!!
beauty already has created a new class system, in my opinion. nwr was spot on..
Nicolas is gorgeous! With such a cheeky smile
How often do you think Refn is just trolling in these interviews?
In the film, Elle was amazing of course, but Abbey... She was the actual movie. Looks, stances took movie to a whole other level, I think
I'm laughing so hard for the 8:20 - 8:40 part, his eyes closed while moving gracefully his fingers, the interviewer saying he's a creep, and then Refn's sardonic and pleased smile, I put that scene on repeat. By the way, he's a creep and that's OK, otherwise he wouldn't be the genius he really is
This movie freaked the shit out of me
It took awhile but I finally warmed up to the director with his ending explanation of why he makes his films, specifically this one.
Its weird, his films Drive, Only God Forgives, and this one are the only films I've ever watched then watched again next day :p I think I did that with Fightclub though too! But I watched Only God Forgives like 5 times lol the song 'sister' in that movie is like my favorite instrumental song

All the greatest artists are misunderstood.
Elle's shoe being moved round and round made me lose all focus on the interview lol
Afonso Luiz
Abbey Lee's face made me lose all focus on anything else that was going on
haha me too! I was like "girl pls stop moving your shoe around." :'D
@@Lady_in_the_Radiator her uglyy face made want to throwup
Wow! Abbey Lee killed it in the movie!!
One of the rare movies that show how beauty could be a deadly curse.
That’s not a rare theme at all
damn that last response tho, so good
amazing interview fitting for an equally amazing film from a genius filmmaker
I luv this movie
Abby is honestly insanely beautiful
What's the song in the trailer? Its not on the soundtrack right?
I love his sense of humour
NWR's answers are so intelligent. Any filmmaker could learn something from him
Stunning film
nice audio
yes this film is my favorite 😍😍

How old was elle fanning when it was filmed?
16
Fuck.. i L O V E Elle Fanning skin it's flawless, she is so beautiful 😦😦
ELLE WOWW THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ETHEREAL ANGEL 😍😍 can’t take my eyess from her how can someone be so beautiful and cuute and bubbly
Elle is primarily an Actress for those making certain comments about her being model material or not. She's beautiful and talented. Full stop!
so who got the power blanket
Can't wait to see this.
great questions!
i love how elle fanning doesnt wear any make-up, true beauty
Veronica Mendoza
She is wearing make-up though, like a lot
@@lucanreynolds1341 it looks more like shes wearing natural make up which just accentuates her natural features which just goes ti show how she is so naturally beautiful.
This movie is so fucking underrated
I haven't seen the movie so there must obviously be a reason why Elle Fanning was cast as 'model' because
she certainly doesn't look like one being too short, wrong body type or looks wise.
Does Bella not like the movie?..... I don't see her do interviews about it
Jena Malone is the real beauty here despite being the make-up artist.
Jenna Malone was excellent.
He's a master mind
the sound is horrible
Hey Abby, just pop something simple on. We are having a interview with AOL build
Prude
Thanks. But she does look nice anyway.
was the movie a hit? actually curious
Those 2 ozzie bad girls in this movie were fckn really great.
There aren't enough interviews with Jena Malone… She was the only reason I liked the film.
Yeah Jena was the best actress in this movie.
Jena Malone stole the show IMO
I actually saw this film...other than Super 8 def best MEF movie nice doods good work! and Gosling and Refn are both hateable doods but pretty damn witty funny and tight in my book, k good talk.
Nicolas is awesome
Abbey is a goddess
