It’s his first feature in a decade, following a sojourn making headfuck-inducing shows for a variety of major streamers. The film follows a young woman, Elle (Sophie Thatcher) in all kinds of trouble. She’s an actor with daddy issues and is being stalked by a strange serial killer with glowing red eyes called the Leatherman. Her knight in shining armour is in fact a monosyllabic GI named Private K (played by Charles Melton) who allows his fists to do the talking. All of this immaculately framed and choreographed action plays out under the 18-tog duvet of Pino Donaggio’s original score. Refn apparently cold-called the Italian maestro as a fan after finding out he was still alive, and commissioned him to write what is arguably some of the best and most emotional music of his career.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the tradition of someone like Alejandro Jodorowsky, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHer Private Hell\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a late-night cult hit in the making that you must give yourself over to or simply walk out of the room.

She uses markers, coloured pencils and ink to create figure-focused images with rich environments. Her work imbues the feeling that a fantastical unreality could exist in our physical world, with all of the whimsy and eeriness that comes with it. Of the cover she says: “I had a blast working on this fractured portrait of Sophie Thatcher! Balancing the repetition of her features and the sharp, geometric shapes was like solving a puzzle and required several iterations.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAbout Little White Lies Magazine: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLittle White Lies was established in 2005 as a bi-monthly print magazine committed to championing great movies and the talented people who make them.
