Nicolas Winding Refn‘s 11th film, “Her Private Hell,” is a long way away from the grounded work many fans are familiar with, like “Drive” and “Bronson.” The feature, now in theaters via Neon, is a neon-drenched sci-fi tale of an actress, Elle (Sophie Thatcher), a soldier, Private K (Charles Melton) and a killer known as Leatherman who move around a futuristic city in a dreamy fog. It’s a sexy, sweaty and divisive film, which premiered at Cannes to mixed reviews but is certain to draw a cult audience, like his most recent movie, 2016’s “The Neon Demon,” to which “Hell” feels like a mysterious and fashionable companion piece.
