>Upon receiving the "Key to the Fantastic Pavilion" at Cannes in antincipation of his new film Her Private Hell, Nicolas Winding Refn announced he's "in the bloodline of Hans Christian Andersen" and refered to his earlier claims that "many people believe" he's the reincarnation of Hans Christian AndersenIs Refn mentally unwell? He's such a turboautist I can't tell if he's really delusional or just constantly lying for attention (earlier this week he said he had a near death experience that gave him visions (conspicuously very similar to his character in Death Stranding), he claims that he's in contact with a UFO with aliens that guide his creative process, insists that his wife's father was secretly Fritz Lang and by that extent his own children are Fritz Lang's descendants too).https://collider.com/nicolas-winding-refn-honored-fantastic-pavilion-cannes-marche-du-film/#Older article about this: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/nicolas-winding-refn-interview-netflix-copenhagen-cowboy-1235213554/
kinda sick of his quirk chungus routine
either way he's the most literally-me director out there.
>>220578049Haven't you been watching FFE? Chances are if he's wink wink nudge nudging it then he literally IS Hans Christian Andersen.https://www.youtube.com/@FittestFlatEarther/videos
>>220578599Very low views for those sub numbers. Did his most popular videos get deleted or something?
>>220578049>Is Refn mentally unwell?Duhhhhh
>>220578049He's so based
We're talking about the dude that ties a blanket around his waist on set "to contain his energy". No doubt he actually beliefs the reincarnation stuff.
>claims to be in contact with aliens who tell him what to do>claims that "many people believe" he's the reincarnation of Hans Christian Andersen>threw a table at a wall in school and got expelled, then re-did the scene in Bronson>directed Drive even though he failed his driver's license exam 7 times (still can’t drive)>needed 12 years to learn how to read>directed OGF only so he could visit toy shops in Thailand then got upset because his wife hid his toys>can't shoot his movies in non-chronological order because otherwise he gets confused>color blind>dyslexic>lost virginity at 24>still extremely insecure about losing his virginity at 24 to the point that he now starts his first answer of every interview by talking about how he totally had sex before age 24 and that he definitely didn’t pay for it despite ZERO journalists asking him about this ever>keeps writing scenes about his characters going to hookers then going limp, obvious self-insert>believes in Thai ghosts because Jodo told him to, says his daughter can see them>only ever acknowledges his oldest daughter because his youngest daughter is bimbomaxxing and he’s ashamed>claims Fritz Lang is his wife's real father even though he'd be 83 when she was conceived and lived in a different country>tried to kill his stepmom but the gun didn't go off>wears a towel when he's shooting “to keep his energy inside him”>Mads says he can't talk to him outside of sets because he can literally only talk about film>cried first time he met Goose>cried on live Danish TV because he was still mad about his friends getting laid as teenagers while he didn't>almost got his wife to run away on their second date because he forced her to watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre>described The Neon Demon as being about him picturing himself as a 16-year-old girl>claims to be jewish (he isn’t)>has no chinThere are so many I had to leave out, we should make it a 2 part post from now on
>>220579292where's the one about how his kids don't call him "dad" they call him by his retarded nickname, and it's not even Nic or Nicky
>>220579292he's literally me
>>220579325The pasta has morphed a bit over time by being too long for a single post and getting edited and reposted by many different people. That nickname is "Jang" and is allegedly what everyone calls him privately and has called him for a long time. If you look at the documentaries about him, literally everyone he meets calls him Jang, be it friends, family, coworkers, people in shops, whatever. A guy on /tv/ who claimed to work at/own a comic book shop that Refn frequented also referred to him exclusively as Jang. Refn credited himself as "Jang Go Star" for his acting role in the first Pusher. Jang Go Star was also the name of his first production company.
he just like Friedkin
>>220579292this is just amazing more autists of this level need to be given funding to create things
>>220579401Didn't Friedkin literally laugh in his face?
>>220578599What in the goddamn is all this now?
>>220579411yeah, but the whole thing was kinda of in a jokey way. Like good friends. At least that's what I thought until I learned about his extreme autism. Now I'm not sure
>>220579439this is what schizophrenic people do with their time instead of being committed now that the asylums were shut down
>>220578049death stranding is what's gonna happen
>>220579485NWR and Kojima's friendship becomes even funnier when you find out that although Kojima can understand English OK, he finds it very difficult to express himself in it, so when Nic and Hideo are speaking or hanging out they are ALWAYS accompanied by Aki Saito (Kojima's personal interpreter). These guys are best friends but their actual personal communication mostly consists of them pointing at stuff and making sounds.
>>220579609i don't doubt that's true, but i think he just doesn't speak english in public is because he's self conscious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJM9jMJ9U00

>>220580084Meh.
>>220580084>her private hell>having to be in the same room as a sub 8
>>220580084>director of>one good movie and two of his worstwtf
>>220578049>Is Refn mentally unwell? He's such a turboautist I can't tell if he's really delusional or just constantly lying for attentionI think it's a little bit of both. Kind of like Tarantino but less insufferable.He's genuinely a turbo autist. He also knows (or gets positive feedback from it) that saying super weird autistic things in promotion for his films gets the films attention and creates a dialogue.It's the whole "inside me is a 16 year old girl" from The Neon Demon. He didn't just say it once. He said it in pretty much every interview for that film.I think it also helps that he's carved out his own little niche and doesn't have an unbearable ego. He had a really good interview a decade ago where he lamented about coming to terms with not being the greatest director in the world. And then you have the 4 hour interview kino (iykyk).Compare that to Tarantino who's just shoving his foot fetish shit in everywhere, writes extremely suspicious sexual fantasies about teenagers, and consistently refers to himself as the greatest living filmmaker and one of the last greats.Refn is funny. Tarantino is a twat.
>>220580340Drive wasn't that bad anon
>>220580421By 2016 he had become somewhat self aware. The true clueless autist era was more fun.
>>220581090Do you have the webms of him with Goose in Thailand?
>>220581090WTF? Is that her husband? Is that AI?
>>220578049>Is Refn mentally unwell?IIRC, on the special features for Drive there was a talk with The Goose and Refn and they went for dinner one night and they hardly spoke, then Goose drove him home - but on the way back, Refn put on the radio and started uncontrollably screaming/crying and singing to REO Speedwagon the whole way back and that was the inspiration for the movie. He’s definitely not all the ticket.
>>220581509That's Nic Refn celebrating Elle's 18th birthday during the Neon Demon premiere. I am not joking.
>>220581907Yikes, this guy has no control over himself in the public and she can't be rude to this creep either
>>220579609Kojima can speak English totally fine, and probably does when they're hanging out. He just has trouble expressing himself with real depth in English so he doesn't do it on the public stage and relies on an interpreter. I'm certain he just fucking talks when they're alone and he doesn't have to worry about PR or using the right words.
>>220578049Refn is gay like Hans CA? Little Mermaid was about a gay's 1-sided crush on a straight.
>>220583528"in every man there's a 16 year old girl"- Nicolas Winding Refn
>>220581907>goodbye my sweet... we can never make love again... for you are now a hag.
>>220583350An interpreter being present is what Refn himself says. Then again, it might be another one of his "exaggerations".
