## Resource

Ten years after The Neon Demon, Nicolas Winding Refn is back with 'Her Private Hell', a neon-soaked fever dream starring Sophie Thatcher and Charles Melton. Speaking to FRANCE 24’s Eve Jackson at the Deauville American Film Festival, the Danish provocateur behind 'Drive' and 'Bronson' opens up about the near-death experience that changed his life, why he believes “polarisation is success” and his plans to make a third film with Ryan Gosling – 15 years after 'Drive'.
