NWR's trademark colors, lights, elegant scenes and camerawork. Immersive sound. Extremely slow (barely bearable at 1,5x). Some very interesting/original - though irremediably sick as per most of his previous productions - characters.
Again: it's a complex & cryptic allegory of something I don't feel like dedicating efforts to decypher. Probably Miu is something like "innocence" or "beauty" as she is both delicate and powerful and surrounded by "evil" and blahblah.
The fact that it's packed with tributes and derivative "entertaining" sections or that there's no ending only adds up to my lack of satisfaction. Maybe if you're younger or more passionate about the meaning of art or the author's thoughts you can appreciate it more: at the end of the day the world seems filled with fans of Lynch.
Maybe Refn is indeed among the top 10-20 best movie creators nowadays, but I can't really appreciate him that much... though I always watch everything he does... I would surely like Refn more if he used his talent to work on content a little less autoreferential, whether story driven or deeply philosophical I wouldn't care.
