The act of creation can be an extreme violent experience.
Nicolas Winding Refn

You ask actors what they would like to do, and you constantly keep them engaged. You want their engagement, input, and sensibilities. It's that intimate collaboration that is actually directing. I don't like the mechanicalness or coldness I like the intimacy. It's like we are creating a child together.

Sometimes you can play against type, or you can just repeat what they've already done. It can be an obstacle it's a very fine line.

The kind of group mentality that we had lived under since the Second World War is starting to erupt, and the craving for individualism is now much stronger. It's not as taboo anymore, as it was when I was younger.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
Only God Forgives was very much a generation gap in a way. It was all the youth of the world that embraced it. I make films for young people. That's what I will continue to do.

How can creativity be bad? You can have, I liked it or I didn't like it, but, in the end, it's an individual experience. How can you even begin to define that? I find that sometimes extremely arrogant and counter-productive.

I certainly believe that creativity must be an experience. If I'm to steal time away from people, we should give them something to react to.
