Refn has always been extremely controversial. I like this film very much, what it wants to express is exaggerated and empty! Refn is a director worth paying attention to, and he is worth cherishing in the contemporary film industry! Because there is no shortage of well-behaved storytellers in the world, and he is very personal and willful, and his audiovisual standards are not low. He insists on his own aesthetic style, and he dares to use the aesthetics he insists to satirize this flashy and empty industry, including himself! He himself became popular when he was very young and encountered swordsmanship in the film circle. All ordinary people who fall into this glitz trap will actually get lost. From the very beginning, the dazed, nervous, naive and ignorant of all unknowns, to the first taste of sweetness, the self-esteem and arrogance, and then the growing sense of unease, I think it is well expressed. I don't think the lines are exaggerated and blunt, but I think everything is just right. I didn't feel like a failure in casting either. This is not a traditional genre film, and it is worth watching several times. When the works of many masters first appeared, they were met with mixed praise, and their value should be left to later generations to judge.
