I like doing the promotional work. It's part of the film's process. Cannes was very wonderful to premiere.
Nicolas Winding RefnI think that Danish people may be thought off as the happiest people, but honestly...I love America.
Nicolas Winding RefnElle Fanning was fifteen when we started [The Neon Demon]. She turned seventeen during the shoot. Four weeks before Cannes, she turned eighteen. She had her prom at Cannes.
Nicolas Winding RefnThe problem with cinema nowadays is that it's a math problem. People can read a film mathematically; they know when this comes or that comes; in about 30 minutes, it's going to be over and have an ending. So film has become a mathematical solution. And that is boring, because art is not mathematical.
