Set for release in July, The Neon Demon caused controversy in Cannes polarising the opinion of the public and critics.

Feeling like either a pure masculine fantasy dipped in gold and glitter or a monumental fashion editorial, the Drive director’s latest film is, to say the least, astonishing, and promises to spark fierce controversy. Nicolas Winding Refn has created some kind of mesmerising beauty-horror film, with a perversity so elegant it’s hard to resist.

We caught up with director Winding Refn and lead actress Elle Fanning to talk about the movie and what influenced the filming process.
