Ten years after The Neon Demon, Nicolas Winding Refn is a feature filmmaker again. His new film, Her Private Hell, will reach home audiences on MUBI on November 27, following its run in cinemas and on the festival circuit.

The film stars Sophie Thatcher as Elle, a rising movie star in a strange, futuristic city, preparing to shoot a science fiction epic alongside her former lover, who is now her stepmother, played by Havana Rose Liu. Charles Melton also stars. It is, by early accounts, unmistakably a Refn construction: neon-soaked, surreal, heavy on striking imagery and on characters who resist easy explanation.

Refn built his international reputation on the Pusher trilogy in Denmark before Drive made him one of the most imitated stylists in world cinema in 2011, winning him the Best Director prize at Cannes along the way. Only God Forgives and The Neon Demon deepened the signature, and the decade since has been spent largely in television and streaming experiments while his feature ambitions gestated.

That long gap is part of what makes Her Private Hell an event for his audience. In the intervening years he largely traded cinemas for the small screen, creating the series Too Old to Die Young and Copenhagen Cowboy, and building byNWR, his own platform for restored and rediscovered cinema. A generation of younger filmmakers absorbed his palette of saturated color and synth-heavy dread, and the question hanging over the new film is what the originator does with the style now that it is everywhere. Audiences who missed the film in cinemas get their answer on November 27, when it lands on MUBI.

Grand Theft Auto VI now has its sound. Rockstar Games and Justice have announced the game’s official score album, a 30-track, three-hour suite the French duo built to react to the world of Leonida as players move through it, landing December 11 with new single “Pusher” giving a first taste of its instrumental side.

Rockstar Games and GRAMMY-winning French electronic duo Justice have announced the official release and launched pre-orders for the Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score, out on December 11 via Because Music, Ed Banger, and Rockstar Games.

The Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score 2xCD and 3xLP – available in a limited crystal clear edition as well as standard black – features 30 tracks and a number of bonus digital tracks comprising a 3 hour-long suite of material from the game. All versions can be pre-ordered/pre-saved here.

Hand-selected for the assignment, Justice (Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay) worked in close collaboration with the team at Rockstar Games to match the thematic beats of the gameplay experience, fine tuning their signature sound to align with the immersive world of Grand Theft Auto VI and the story of Jason and Lucia. As a result, the band’s score is dynamically tuned to game events as they unfold, constantly reacting in response to the different ways players engage with the people and places across Leonida.

“The scope of the game is so large geographically and thematically that it was clear from the beginning the music would also have to be very broad in terms of emotions, genres, and textures” states de Rosnay. “We were given the freedom to explore as many things as we needed to, musically speaking.”

The duo previewed the score via their massive hit “Flower In a Hurricane (ft. Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard),” which marked Justice’s first non-feature song to hit the Billboard Hot 100 at #62 and debuted at #34 on the US Alternative Radio chart. Today they share another taste of the album with “Pusher,” a preview of the instrumental side of the score featuring their first-ever collaboration with fellow French electronic music pioneer Gesaffelstein. Listen here.

Justice emerged nearly 20 years ago under the iconic Parisian labels Ed Banger Records and Because Music with the groundbreaking single “Waters of Nazareth,” gaining acclaim following their influential debut album featuring the global hit “D.A.N.C.E.” The score represents the next major step for Justice following the massive Hyperdrama campaign, which kicked off with a stage-closing set at Coachella and concluded with a massive arena tour of the US, with a stop along the way to win a Grammy for Best Electronic Recording.

Justice will appear for a DJ set at Simifest in Mexico City on December 5, find tickets here.
