Meshes Of The Afternoon / The Neon Demon |
These comparisons
could be forced (and I'm sure there's some of you reading this right now ready to prematurely call out how completely different you think my comparisons are), but I see quite a few similarities between the works of Maya Deren & Nicolas Winding Refn...
From the symbolism (Witches Cradle & Neon Demon) & tight spaces (Meshes Of The Afternoon & Fear X) to the exploration of the weirder/surreal side of Los Angeles (Meshes Of The Afternoon & Drive), I think things aren't exactly coincidental.
This all came out from a
previous entry where I posted up a series of side-byside's between Deren's
Meshes Of The Afternoon & Refn's
Fear X...
After that I started to explore their entire filmographies and came out up with the following comparisons.
Enjoy...
