Nicolas Winding Refn is NOT having a good time in Cannes right now!
On Thursdays, reports started circulating about the awful reception of Nicolas’ controversial and sexed up horror film The Neon Demon. The wild flick stars Elle Fanning, Jessica Chastain, and Keanu Reeves.
Video: The Neon Demon Trailer Is CRAZY!
According to people at the event, the movie was “lustily” booed, heckled, and totally TRASHED. The crowd allegedly even went after Refn’s own wife!
Check out some of the disastrous accounts from the viewing (below)!
That said, it was so lustily booed that when the dedication to Refn’s wife came onscreen, THEY BOOED HER TOO

The Neon Demon got exactly the reception I’m sure Refn was hoping for. Audience members literally shouting abuse at the screen #Cannes2016

Reports of critics literally screaming profanities at the screen as Neon Demon ended. Hold on to your butts

Worth noting The Neon Demon also received boos before it even started when the Amazon Films logo popped up. #Cannes2016

WOW! This screening sounds intense!
On the flip side, this could really drum up more interest in the film. People love a good train wreck!
So, will YOU see the movie?
