“The Neon Demon” director Nicolas Winding Refn says his films are just his fantasies brought to life, including his latest film about a 16-year-old model, played by Elle Fanning.
“I think I’ve gotten that out of me so now I can move on with my life,” Refn said of his inner 16-year-old girl in an interview with TheWrap’s Stuart Brazell.
“But all my films are just essentially fantasies of what I would like to maybe have been, or what I would like to have tried, or what I would like to have done. And that’s what’s great about creativity.”
