Washington DC, May 2

The Cannes awardee director Nicolas Winding Refn's comeback film 'Her Private Hell' is set to release in theatres on July 24. The film will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival later this year, reported Deadline.

The movie will have a moderate release in 800 to 1,200 theatres. The movie stars Sophie Thatcher, Charles Melton, Dougray Scott, Diego Calva, and Kristine Froseth in the lead role.

According to Deadline, the movie has myriad storylines, but it takes place in a metropolis of the future where actresses are gathering at a posh hotel where they're set to make a Barberella-like movie. A heinous killer known as Leather Man is going around the city taking the lives of women.

Prior to 'Her Private Hell', director Nicolas Winding Refn's 'Neon Demon' premiered at Cannes in 2016. It starred Elle Fanning in the lead role. It also starred Karl Glusman, Jena Malone, Bella Heathcote, Abbey Lee, Desmond Harrington, Christina Hendricks, and Keanu Reeves.

The director has also made two streaming noir series, Prime Video's 2019 'Too Old to Die Young' and Netflix's 2022 'Copenhagen Cowboy'. He has also been a brand filmmaker for Prada, making shorts such as 2022's Touch of Crude.

Refn won Best Director at Cannes for his 2011's crime thriller, Drive, starring Ryan Gosling, Albert Brooks, Carey Mulligan and Oscar Isaac.

The movie, per Deadline's Pete Hammond, at the time received a 15-minute standing ovation at the world premiere, certainly one of the festival's longest. Drive received four BAFTA noms, an Oscar nomination for Sound Editing, and a Golden Globe supporting actor nomination for Brooks.

Another Refn film with style over substance, I bet. *Drive* was great but everything since has been pretentious. This one sounds like a mishmash of ideas—actresses, a killer, a futuristic hotel... Maybe it'll surprise us? But the Indian release might be limited. Let's see if PVR gets it.

Excited for this! Refn has a unique visual style that's unlike anyone else. The cast looks strong—Sophie Thatcher and Charles Melton are talented. And Dougray Scott? Old school! Hope the *Leather Man* killer is as menacing as they say. July 24 can't come soon enough! 😍

*Drive* was overhyped. The 15-minute standing ovation at Cannes is just festival politics. This new film sounds derivative—*Barberella* meets *The Neon Demon*??? Refn needs to move beyond neon-noir. Still, I'll watch it for the cinematography. Hope it's not another *Too Old to Die Young* slog.

As an Indian cinephile, I'm always curious about Refn's work. His films are polarizing—some call them art, others garbage. *Her Private Hell* sounds like a feminist critique wrapped in horror? Or just exploitation? Either way, the premise is intriguing. I'll wait for reviews before booking tickets.

Refn is a genius. Period. *Drive* is iconic, *Neon Demon* is underrated, and his streaming series are bold. This new film sounds like a return to
