Watching Nicolas Winding Refn’s Her Private Hell feels like you’re watching a sci-fi slasher film thaw from the frost in real time. Before the film’s premiere, I sat with Refn to discuss his pastiche of glitter, sex, and death, diving into his views on the afterlife, and filmmaking as an act of exorcism. But once everything began to work again, I was like, “I know exactly what I’m going to do. I’m going to do a movie, and it’s going to be like this.” The Elle story is more about my daughter going away.
