Nicolas Winding Refn's hypnotic neon-soaked new film, with a post-screening director interview and an open-captioned screening.
110 mins - Denmark / United Kingdom / United States 2026 Director: Nicolas Winding Refn Starring: Sophie Thatcher, Charles Melton and Havana Rose Liu
From Nicolas Winding Refn, the filmmaker who brought you DRIVE, ONLY GOD FORGIVES and THE NEON DEMON, comes this hypnotic moodscape enshrined in pink mist.
Set against a surrealist, futuristic metropolis, the story follows Elle (Sophie Thatcher), a rising movie star preparing to shoot a space odyssey alongside her ex-lover turned stepmother (Havana Rose Liu). Elsewhere in the haze, an American GI (Charles Melton) wanders the desolate streets on a desperate search for his daughter.
As an enigmatic and sinister figure known only as the Leather Man stalks the city's shadows, their lives begin to converge, dissolving the boundaries between past and present, memory and fate.
Driven by his trademark neon cinematography, striking atmospheric dread, and an intoxicating orchestral score by legendary composer Pino Dinaggio, HER PRIVATE HELL is a breathtaking, kaleidoscopic experience designed to mesmerize and seduce.
The 16:00 screening on Sunday 18 October will be followed by a 29 minute video interview with director Nicolas Winding Refn.
*The 16:00 screening on Wednesday 21 October will be open captioned (contain descriptive subtitles for deaf/hard of hearing audiences).
